Please go to the doctors. I had a post menopause bleed after 11 months I have pre cancerous cells. My bleed was bright red and for 5 days. Be brave and come on here or ring the nurses I did. The waiting for results is the worst. Please do not be alone. We are all here for you xxxx

Dollysocks , I hope that you have  got a treatment plan and are getting well looked after . 

Hello Cat Cat. Ive been booked for a pre op assessment on Monday then hysterectomy on Wednesday with 1 weeks notice!!!.... A total whirlwind and im unsure if im mentally prepared, but I feel I should take the opportunity as I may have a longer wait. Will see when I attend the pre op. My concern is the results after they take the womb. I cannot fault the NHS as the service ive received so far it's been really good x

The uncertainty and the waiting is horrendous and what maybe a short time feels like eternity but, once you get the results you know what you are dealing with. 

I hope you find someone to attend the hospital with you. Ive always had to attend appointments and tests alone and sometimes you get fed up with coping with it all.

Let us know how you get on xxxx

Thanks Dollysocks . That must be daunting to face a hysterectomy and it’s good that you have a pre - op visit on Monday . Hopefully you get the chance to ask any questions and be reassured about the op . I always find it useful to prepare and write down questions . But I know we are all different and some  people don’t want to know all the details . 

Whilst that is a very quick turnaround for you , I think the alternative of waiting ( and worrying ) is much worse . 

I hope that you have somethings to distract you over the coming days , even if watching something comforting  on the tv .

I am sorry to hear that you have had to go to the appointments on your own . That must have been very hard especially when you got the diagnosis and the practicalities of coming back from the hospital . How long do you have to stay in hospital after the Weds op ? Do you have someone who can collect you from hospital ? 

Nothing new for me am religiously checking the post for my next appointment letter , feeling a bit frustrated when nothing there but also secretly a bit relieved too , as don’t have to face the reality written in black and white .

I think we are all going through so many different emotions .

Unsure how long I will stay. Will find out more on Monday. X
