Hi everyone
I’ve been aware of the forum for months but haven’t said hello yet. It is quite useful reading peoples stories and seeing what everyone is going through…
I was diagnosed a year ago with womb cancer 1A .. & I’m now having hormone therapy with the IUD. My biopsy (owch!!!!!) showed an improvement in December…and I will have surgery in May for another biopsy and for a camera to have a look around. I’m not nervous about this surgery but I am about a hysterectomy as that really feels like alot to go through physically and emotionally.
I think I’m just feeling abit bummed out and sad at the moment!! I don't let it get to me often. But things have changed, I’m 34 and I don’t feel like I have the energy I used to have at all. I also have PCOS which I feel has brought me this diagnosis. Despite always trying so hard with fitness.
Me&my partner got married in October and I really hope we can have a child. We’ve both changed our lifestyles and slowed down alot.. but sometimes I feel like the rest of the world is still going on and we don’t fit in there so much anymore. Tonight we were supposed to go to a premiere of a friend’s film… I can't lie I’m much happier under the duvet! But I still resent the fact that I feel unwell.
I’ve recently left my job as I was finding it was adding so much extra stress and they were really unsupportive.(they put ALOT of pressure on for HR meetings and OH)-then said i had exhausted sick pay... when I left I didn’t even get a card! After seven years, to say goodbye and good luck with treatment..
oh well. !
i look forward to reading more of your stories!
thank you for reading, from fed up lady in Manchester x
