Hi Alison, what a terrible shock for you. Have you family or friends to support you?

How soon after the scan/biopsy were you told?

I am waiting to go for a scan, as I have 5 symptoms. Premenopausal flooding every hour, blood like water. Pain inside. Swelling in the groin and stomach and upper thighs. I have prepared myself that it is womb cancer. 

Fiona 

I Starred off with a pink discharge only. Went to my gp and referred to the hospital.

Glad your feeling a bit stronger.. 

Good luck for Friday.

Personal question did you have a hysterectomy.

Il be thinking of you as well.

Plenty of hugs.

Love

Alison

bug hugs xx 

I'm glad your healing well.Its upsetting having yo lose our hair.Il gave yo look at some wigs.

Big hugs,take care

Love Alison.xx

I went to look at wigs yesterday & came home with one!  Similar to my own hair which doesn’t look too bad.  It was a bit surreal but it’s only for a limited time… I have to keep reminding myself of that. 
anither box ticked though.  This whole journey is one step one day at a time. 
 Lots of love Alison big hugs. X 

I wish I was as positive as you.

Need to woman up.I think il look at wigs and see what there like,might go for something different.. 

Your right one step at a time.

Love and hugs.

Alison.

Hi,,

Just got a chat about chemo etc next Wednesday.Not sure when any of the treatment starts.So the actual Brachytherapy takes 30 minutes or is it less than that.

Have a good weekend.

Love and hugs.

It’s less than that 

todays actual radiation was 7 minutes.  No CT
 First one was 15 minutes plus CT scan 

Third one is another short one No CT 

it’s been ok  nothing to worry about. 

I’m not looking forward to chemo at all … being honest.  zooming up fast now x 

hope you get your dates soon so you can plan moving forward x

Hi Alison  I think it’s more normal to have a meltdown. I’m the other way I haven’t cried once!! It’s not normal & usually things make me cry easily.  I think it’s my self preservation tool!   If I cry I may not stop! 
It will happen I’m sure!  Seriously Alison if I can do this you can too!  It’s all been copeable so far & we’ve already come a long way. 

thinking of you & sending positive thoughts  

Kim xx 

It's probably because my mam passed a year ago.My husband has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer.My son has got kidney .disease.It all rolled into one and I felt I couldn't deal with .myself. Have you discussed the chemo.My appoitment is Wednesday.I didn't want to go. I hope its worth it.

Thinking of you. Love and hugs.

Alison.xxx

I’m so very sorry Alison. You really are on overload x so sorry to hear about your mum no matter our age it’s jolly tough when they go! X 

I understand why dealing with yourself is hard too. Your family have a lot going on x 

the chemo appt was informative… lots of tick ️ boxes & forms.  Bloods taken. Etc 

 I too found it hard going in there x 

you will have to have a kidney function test at some point too. I’ve got mine this Thursday.  

im sending you the biggest hug Alison  

Sending positive thoughts to your husband &son too x 

Thanks

When do you start your Chemo.Do they have to wait after having the Brachytherapy.

How many doses of Chemo will you be having.

Can they not give you the one that doesnt cause hair loss.

Apologies for the questions.

Love and hugs to you.

Alison.

I start chemo Monday week 17th! 
last brachytherapy this Tuesday. 
This is the chemo they say I need to make sure all cancer cells are destroyed. 
chemo every 3rd week.  6 rounds. So total 18 weeks.  
then hopefully that’s the end of it all x 

xx 

Wish you all the best.

Wish I could stop crying,I'm not normally like this.

I hope it's the end for you as well.

It's nice having someone to talk to.
