Just back from hospital after tests, they took biopsies etc and the lady who did them said it looks like womb cancer, middle stages and we would know more when they get results. xx

Hi Pabala,

I am glad to hear that you finally got your appointment today without any cancellation. I am sure that this is not the news that you wanted to hear, but you will get through this. Have you been told when your results are likely to be back?

Here's hoping that the outcome will be better than expected. Keep in touch.
Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine she said that I will get results in a week or two, she said she is going to prempt and book an appointment for ct scan. I think I was prepared for such a result as I felt that something wasnt right. xxx

Hi Pabala.

Sometimes we just know when something isn't right, but let's hope that, if this is the case, you've caught it early. I'm glad to hear that your consultant has already booked a CT scan and, is leaving no stone unturned. You really need an accurate diagnosis to give your treatment the best chance of success.

Have you got a date for the CT yet? I hope that it comes through soon.

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine, I havent got a date yet as it was Friday yesterday that I saw them. I will keep you upto date how things are going. I hope you are doing ok and looking after yourself xxx

Hi Pabala,

I'm looking forward to hearing from you - hopefully soon.

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine, I got my results today Im Now waiting for ct scan and echo my heart as I have womb cancer stage 2 and need a full hysterectomy. I feel ok as I had that something was wrong xx

Hi Pabala,

Thank you for the update. I am so sorry to hear the news. Even though you suspected this, it still comes as a shock when you are told. Believe it or not, you should find that it gets easier to cope with, now that you know what is wrong and can start to fight this.

Just remember that we are always here for you on good days and bad. Please keep in touch along your journey. I hope that the CT and Echo both go well.

Kind regards,

Hi going for ct scan on monday 15th, I dont know how long results will take to come back. I hope your ok xxx

Hi Pabala, 

I am delighted to hear that you have got your appointment through at last. I had a CT on 25th February and was told that it would take about 2 weeks to get the results. So far, I've had no word.

I hope that all goes well for you on Monday.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine, I hope you get word soon if you dont maybe you should contact your cancer nurse to see if they could check for you xxx

Hi Pabala,

The result of my brain CT came through in this moring's post - all clear - what a relief! I've still got to have my breast scan, so here's hoping that it will be clear too.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

I am sooo glad it was all clear, crossing fingers toes and anything else I can that your other results are clear. Sending you a big hug I am so happy it was clear xxx

Hi Pabala,

Thank you so much. I still find it hard to believe myself. I still have a few more tests to go and, am hoping that the outcomes will be the same.

I shall let you know.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Got a phone all yesterday to ask if I can see the gynaeologist tomorrow morning, Im not sure if it is results from scan from last week, but also I think it might be as they didnt say I had to go back up. Will le you know, hope ll is ok with you xxx

Hi Pabala,

It probably is for your results. I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for good news. I'm doing fine thanks - no further forward with tests. I got an appointment for a telephone consultation with a gastroenterologist yesterday. This is for Thursday, but I've no idea what it is for.

Will let you know.

Kind regards,

Hi it looks to be contained in womb, so about 15th April i will have full hysterectomy by keyhole ;o) xx

Hi Pabala,

This sounds better than you expected. It is reassuring that it is contained and hasn’t spread elsewhere. No matter how well prepared we think we are, a diagnosis of cancer always comes as a shock. Most of us feel as if we had been hit by a ton of bricks immediately after hearing this. I hope that you are managing to accept this after such a long wait.

This is not the end of the world. You’ve got it. It’s good news that you don’t have long to wait for your surgery. It’s also reassuring that they can do the procedure by keyhole. This should make the operation much easier and should shorten your recuperation time considerably. Did you discuss any possible treatment post-surgery today?

Please remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
