Hi everyone, you all seem so brave... I am post menopausal and have had a couple of episodes of unexplained bleeding, the Docs have acted quickly and have had tests on the 2 week wait but nothing conclusive has been found as far as I am aware.   I have an appointment to see gynological oncologist on Friday and I cant tell anybody how worried I feel as people are so ready to tell me that it will all be fine and not to worry until there is something to worry about.  I want to feel positive and strong but instead I feel weak and lonely!!!  Is this normal???

    Hi muz ...

    Don't worry, it's really normal ... I've had a masectomy, nearly two years ago now, but looking back, the scariest time is where you are now ... no matter how much people say you'll be fine .. and not to worry .. it's only when it happens to you , you know just how overwhelming that wait is ...

    Everyone on here with cancer knows and remembers that feeling ... wer just human ... but please weigh that up with more times then not it's not cancer .. but everyone going through this journey has one thing in common ... kicking cancers butt ... 

    Fingers crossed you'll have a good result ... try to keep busy as possible ... and know you can put all those feelings on here and we know how it feels ..  Chrissie x
