Hello , I am a newbie

Hello

Welcome to the Womb group.

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of endometrial cancer and am sorry that you are feeling in pain following your surgery. Please do not feel hesitant in posting in the group for support. There are many lovely ladies on here who have had the same diagnosis and surgery who will want to reach out and offer support. 

I am not sure when your surgery happened but it is worth contacting your hospital regarding the pain that you are in so that they are aware. It may be that you need some extra pain relief for a while until things settle. There should be a number on your discharge paperwork that you can ring for support. 

You are not alone in expressing your feelings through poetry and writing and anything that helps is worth doing. We do have a Support Line that is available from 8am-8pm daily if you feel talking things through would help.

We do have a forum on here that may be of interest to you. I will pop a link below.

I hope that your pain will ease and I wish you well for the rest of your recovery. If there is anything you need, please do ask.

It can feel a long road but you'll get there- little steps at a time. 

We are here when you need us.

This is a great forum for support.Having the right pain relief is important in recovery from surgery so hope you can get that soon. I had some extra meds to help me. 

Thank you. 
Trying to stay positive as days go by. 
yes, had pain killers to release the pain and now? Constipation, need laxative … this goes round snd round.  Oh deary me! 

I felt there was nothing useful I could say before but my MIL told me that during the war chocolate was the only laxative they had. It's a good excuse to eat dark chocolate anyway and the magnesium it contains will help a little with stress.  Our daughter was prone to constipation when small and well the prescribed medications failed we tried fig biscuits. She was a lot happier with those and they worked better. Wishing you strength and some good pain relief. 

Thank you for the tips. 
I shall try dark chocolates and more vegetables.  
Kind Regards x
