Feeling scared about what's to come - just been diagnosed with womb cancer

Hi all

I have just been  diagnosed with womb cancer and am absolutely petrified of what's to come. I will be having MRI and trays nest week  which I presume is to see if it has spread. I am struggling to eat and sleep and can't help thinking the worst is going to happen.  I feel.like my body has become a monster.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with womb cancer. It's understandable that you're feeling so scared about what this may mean for you. 

    It's good to hear that the specialists have already requested additional scans and tests and hopefully, this means it won't be too long before they have all the information they need to make a clear diagnosis and talk with you about treatment options. 

    We know that this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult for many people. It's natural to struggle with sleeping and eating. The unknown can be a scary prospect to face and often our minds will wander to worst-case scenarios. 

    I wonder if you might find it helpful to talk things through with one of our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can to help whilst you're waiting for more news. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Bellaandbrue and let us know how you get on. Hopefully you will have some updates and reassurance from the specialists soon. 

    Best wishes,
