I had a right lumpectomy in June with lymph node removal and 15 sessions of radiotherapy which i finished in September.
I had anaemia at my preop that was not picked up . I had a routine eye test which showed that I had swelling of the optic nerve and with referral to an eye hospital in November.
After further scans I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension and an incidental find of a thickened lining of the endometrial cavity .I have a new primary cancer stage 2 . I am waiting surgery for an abdominal hysterectomy .
I am devastated and keep asking why me, as it hasn’t hit me yet and I don’t know if I have the strength to fight this again !!!

Its a horrible situation but you have the strength.
Youve rid yourself of cancer once & youll do it again. Its harder knowing what to expect.
Ask your questions, get a plan in place & di it.
Youve got this x

Hi Sunflower 6, You will somehow find the strength. I had my breast cancer surgery, chemotherapy then radiotheraphy in 2019 and continue to take Letrozole. Then found out through a CT scan for pneumonia in 2024 that I had Bowel Cancer. It really does hit you and I thought like you, “Why me? Not again” Believe me you will get through it. Cancer is not a respecter of people and we have to keep going as we really have no choice. I am thinking of you and wish you well. Take care.

Hi so sorry you are going through this . I had breast cancer and womb cancer 20 months apart , I was only just getting back to normal when cancer took me out again !! It feels very unfair . Hoping your treatment is straightforward

Sending you all the hugs!! Oh my goodness. My grandmother went through breast cancer twice & one of those times she had uterine cancer at the same time. That was 30 years ago. Sending you all the love!!
