Good Evening Everyone!
I am new to this, Cancer Chat Thingy…
A little bit about me, I’m 49 yrs old, Married to Mark, who was diagnosed in November 2024 with Bowel Cancer, My world fell apart. Lots of waiting around for scans and a treatment plan.. Fast forwa to January and he’s had his first session of chemo, second session on Wednesday( His birthday )
Last Thursday, our world came crashing down again, I got diagnosed with Womb cancer, Grade 1, awaiting a MRI within the next two weeks to see if it’s spread and to stage it then a op- Hysterectomy in 4-6 weeks!
If I said I was ok, I would be lying out my a&!e , I am scared of the MRI, I am petrified of having an op, and I am also frightened I am not going to be able to look after my husband.
I have been to every appointment with him so far and I know that once I’ve had my op I am not going to be able to do that, I am so worried that he’s not going to be well enough, or have an appointment the day I have to go for my op.
I feel very selfish as I am so worried about me, I am a strong woman but I am feeling like all this bad news is starting to break me.
I feel like we are the unluckiest couple in the world right now
I am 50, in September, and we were going to New York, that is not going to happen now..
I have a few questions about a hysterectomy (hoping I can get some answers)
1. How long is the op?
2. How long are you in hospital for?
3. How long are you at Home not being able to do anything?
4. How painful is it after the op?
Thank you for reading
lots of love ️
