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.

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

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

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.

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.

Hi Kimmy,

The administrator has blocked my message as it had my mobile number on it.Apparentely its not private.

Wel have to try and arrange something else.

It def does help when someone you connect with is going through the same thing.I thought I was a strong person but st the moment I feel nothing like that 

Lots of hugs.

My first appoitment is tomorrow.Not chemo.

Just saw your post about phone number.

It may be that you can "connect" with Kimmy and send each other private messages.

You do this by tapping on Kimmy's profile picture and requesting friendship.

Perhaps the administrator could confirm this is an acceptable way to exchange phone numbers - I would also like to know for myself!

Thankyou so much.

Hope ure OK.

Alison.

You're welcome Alison. Yes, I'm fine thank you.

Hello Alison, 

As Sharza has said if you'd like to communicate with other forum members in a more private setting you can use the forum Private Messaging function. 

Once you've added the person you'd like to chat with as a friend you're able to share information away from the public forum pages. 

I hope these links help.

Best wishes, 
Jenn
Cancer Chat moderator 

That's excellent and thank you so much for your prompt response Jenn.

By the way you moderators do a wonderful job.

Best wishes Sharon 

I have sent a private message with my phone number

Alison - you have sent your last posting to yourself, rather than to Kimmy.....

Of course, it may be that you have also sent a private message to Kimmy with your phone number, as intended.

Sharon 

Thankyou for that.xx

Hi Kimmy,

I have sent a private message to you with my mob number on it.

Love Alison.
