Heartbroken that I can't have children

Hi guys, 

I think this is the hardest post I'll ever write on here, since my hysterectomy november last year, I have felt sort empty and being quite young too (24) I felt like my life was ruined and in all honesty still do. I have lost my partner because I cannot carry my children which still breaks my heart. I thought he was the one who would stand by me through anything. Everytime I see a pregnant woman or a baby I have to fight back the tears. I can use a surrogate but I just feel like kinda useless. I've always dreamed of a family, a loving, understanding husband, and two beautiful children but of what I've seen it costs so much for surrogacy, I would struggle to do it once let alone twice, right now this seems a million miles away and it can never happen. My previous partner has arised a feeling in me that no man will ever want me like this, that I will never be happy. Part of me knows this isnt true but I feel it nonetheless. I'm still soildering on, I look on the brightside as much as I can but when it comes to my 'happy' future... I just dont see one. I've also got my first scan after finsihing treatment coming up in october and I'm scared. I don't really know what im asking for, maybe someone thats been through the same? Will these feeling's ever go away or anyone have any advice on how to get through this?

  • Hi Bex

    I had endometrial cancer stage 4b and they also discovered ovarian cancer stage 1a. had chemo and raqdiotherapy and still here beating the odds.

    I am normally a very posative person but went through ups and downs.  I used to plan what I would leave to people not the big important stuff the smaller things like my handbags, costume jewelley, scarfs (I have so many) and really silly stuff so that soon I was back to feeling up again thinking of what my friends would do with all my stuff.  You can't  be posative all the time so accept that some days are not going to be as good as others, thats life and its there for living.

    Surround yourself with people who care, you soon find out who your real friends are even casual aquantances were nicer than long time friends who just did not want to know.

  • You've done amazingly, and its really great to know you are still going strong, I hope can do the same as you. I must say I have done the same even thought about writing a will but I havent as yet as I know hopefully it will not be needed. Thank you, I am determined to live it and enjoy it as much as I can. 

    Yes unfortunately I found out who my real friends were a while ago when I was going through a difficult time but I guess thats a good thing too, I only have real friends in my life now which I am happy to say. I dont know where i'd be without them. I made some lovely friends along this journey which I feel will last forever and that is just one of the good things to come out of this. There is always a reason to smile.
