Hi,

I am sorry you are going through this.  I can only imagine. 

I have post menopausal bleeding with cramps and hip pain. Saw consultant last night and have ultrasound on Monday then a hysteroscopy in a couple of weeks.

One of main concerns other than an obvious cancer diagnosis it how on earth would I tell my children? I have 2 boys, 21 & 23 both still at home. 

It is totally like you say, you are about to change their lives as well.

My mum got bowel cancer at age 46.  I was 22 at the time and it just was not talked about as a family. It was all hush hush.  I wish I had known more so I could have supported her better.

I guess you just have to be open and honest and be prepared for a range of emotions.  Hopefully it will bring you even closer as a family.

take care.
