Have been through the prolonged bleeding which was a nuisance.  I was driving across the USA with 8 year old son checking out the next stopping point in the next 50 miles so I could go to the loo and change tampons and pads.  Finally found a gynaecology hospital and went in to check it telling them I had a uterine haemmhorage.  Was greeted by 'How are you going to pay?'  Therefore (with a bit of acting) I was feeling faint and had to have a chair immediately! I was eventually seen by a doctor who did not believe me but agreed to examine me.  I was highly amused when he shrieked 'Nurse, a bucket, quick' as blood gushed at him!  He did put me on a pill (forget which) which I knew made me sick, but as he pointed out, did I want stuff coming out of the top or the bottom!  I accepted the pill and the bleeding cleared up.  Back in England again I was not believed until a blood count was done and was then sent pronto for a check up at the nearest hospital.  This was all 33 years ago.  Since then I have got older, past menopause and was surprised to have a period.  I should have checked up on it before getting guts ache which turned out to be cancer.  Maybe you should ask to have a scan just to check out what your innards are like.

I'm so sorry to hear you have cancer. I hope everything goes well with your treatment. 

I am waiting for a scan app to come through so hopefully that will be soon and shed some light on the situation
