Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endrometriel cancer in Oct 2023. Which was a complete shock as I felt so healthy. I had operation in the Nov. A full hysterectomy, resection of upper and lower bowel, nodes removed from pelvis, stomach lining and bladder. I had chemo in Jan 2024 and finished last day of April 2024.,I feel more stressed and anxious now then I was going through it. I have had several scans and there is no evidence of disease. What haunts me is in a letter which stated
“chemo will prolong your life but it is very hard to cure cancer that is so advanced” I think about it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I don’t sleep very well and lie awake for hours worrying. I have no energy and feel worn out.
I should be happy, most of the time I am. I have a brilliant life apart from the cancer. I’m 75 years old and trying to make the most of it. My husband is very caring and patience as I have gone completely off sex. i have 4 wonderful sons, 4 grandchildren and about to become great grandparents
