Bit of good news/weird emotions
Bit of good news/weird emotions Hi All
Hope everyone is okay today and looking forward to the weekend.
This may seem like a daft post but to me it was a huge weight off my mind. Whilst waiting to go in for my first op I decided to go for an overdue smear test. The results came back today to say everything was normal! This has been worrying me as well as everything else as my Mum had Endometrial Cancer 18 months ago, had a hysterectomy and is fine now so I guess I was thinking what if I’ve got that or something else there aswell!
I’m finding my emotions and sensitivity levels are still all over the place. Wounds are itchy and chafing agghh (but are healing that’s the main thing). Also anyone finding they have become slightly forgetful since diagnosis? Other thing is since taking decision to stay off work since diagnosis as head became a shed, have turned from workaholic manager to breadmaking, cooking, gardening domestic goddess Nigellafannycraddocktitchmarsh what’s that about? enjoying simple pleasures instead of the technicalities of meetings etc!! maybes that’s just me!?! Boyfriend thinks it’s great of course!
I have rationalised now that as I have been told I have to have a second op and effectively fallen back by 4 weeks since my diagnosis. I might as well enjoy myself until 5 July when the next op is, let the current set of scars heal and have a rollicking good time as when the chemo starts it all gets a bit serious. Hmm serious that’s not really my kind of thing so will attempt to turn my chemo cocktails into relatively humourous experience if at all possible!?
Would like to introduce new theory to assist with dealing with this ‘nuisance’ we are all experiencing at the moment.
Chocolate produces endorphins which give you positive vibes to fight negative vibes, in this case cancer, therefore produces happy person who can beat cancer. Stuffs up your waistline but who cares if it makes you feel good and helps you beat the big C.
Keep on smiling and may the force be with you

Hi
Your post made me smile. Just before I started chemo I had a smear done, also over due. I spent the next 8 weeks dreading the post because I kept thinking knowing my luck I have CA of the cervix as well. Of couse like you it was all clear. So pleased that that worry has now gone for you. Good luck with treatment

hi, made me laugh too, and i’m a real newbie!!! so since yesterday, i have become ME ME ME quite easily, got my first op next friday, so till then its feet up, no housework (what else would you use outlaws for???) i am taking life so easily its untrue, never been one to sit on my rump before, have told work to expect me when they see me, life seems quite good for now, know really that it will be rough and up and down at times, but for now, well, i’m grade 3, but i’m positive and plan to stay that way (hopefully), mind you, i don’t like chocolate, but i do like savoury, so will endevour to find one that makes me content.
love to all
