What a year! We started off the year with my husband being diagnosed with testicular cancer (age 36), 9 weeks later i was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the grand old age of 31! Thankfully 2 weeks later, my husband recieved the all clear! 

They graded mine at Grade 2 Stage 1b and i was told that i would have to have a full hysterectomy and potentially radiotherapy but it depended on what the biopsy came back as afterwards. I had the full hysterectomy (womb, cervix, ovaries and tubes all gone!) on the 15th May and then on the 25th May i was told that they'd biopsied it all and confirmed that it had spread from my womb to my cervix so they had regraded it to Grade 3 Stage 2...the highest they can grade endometrial at was Grade 3 stage 3 so you can imagine my shock that i was nearly at that point! 

Radiotherapy started end of July and finished beg of September. I had to have 25 external to my abdo and 2 brachytherapy (internal) sessions too. I was soo sick throughout it all and couldn't wait for it to be done! Couldn't afford to be off work any longer so i returned part time at the end of September (much to my consultants suprise). Finally got the all clear on the 8th December!

It was soo nice to know we were leaving it all behind in 2023 but this year has just been pants already! Im still struggling with my mental health around everything that happened last year and still truggling to get my head around the fact that i lost my fertility. my dream was to always be a mum and experience pregnancy and its something i was never able to experience. My best friend has just d twins and although im happy for her, im breaking inside. Im not sleeping at all (anxiety and menopause are causing havoc on my brain). Im trying to keep on working but im getting to that point whe its becoming more and more difficult. Im struggling soo much! How do you all cope? Have you all returned to "normal" life?
