Good to see your name on here again. Hope you are feeling better soon. Haven't lost any of your wit, which is a really good thing.

Hello Tracey, I had cancer of the uterus almost 5 years ago, had the full hysterectomy and had my lymph nodes removed too. I am just over 20 years older than you, so my situation could be a little different to yours. I had stage 2 which meant it had gone to the cervix as well as the uterus. It is a good idea (or at least I think so) to have someone go along to your appointments with you. There is so much information that you will be given and you cannot remember every little single thing that you are told. I have also kept an online diary for myself and after each check up, update it now, but while I was going through my operation and then treatment I would update it daily. We have groups on here as well, so of course there is a gyno cancer one. This site is also good to hear from ladies that have experienced what you are going through, it is good therapy to share your feelings and emotions. Cancer Connect is also very good if you want to talk to someone that has experienced the same as you too. Their number is 131120 option 3 in NSW. Good luck with your journey. Bev

Hello Carian, Just popping in to find out how you are.

Hello, If you want to talk to someone, check out my latest blog. I would like to suggest to you that you contact the helpline 131120 and press option 3. That puts you in contact with Cancer Connect, they will take some details (with your dad's permission) and try to match him up with a volunteer who has experienced similar to him.

Hello everyone, Well, after 2 day's training last week, I am now a peer support volunteer for Cancer Connect. Just in case you don't know what that is I will tell you. For someone that is newly diagnosed and want to speak to someone that has experienced the same cancer or treatment, they can contact the helpline 131120 and select option 3. Details will be taken from the caller and then they will be matched up with a peer support volunteer. Contact is by phone, and at no time is your or the volunteer's personal details revealed, first name only. I had heard about this before, but didn't really know what it was all about. I wish that I had heard about it when I was going through my early stages of treatment. Someone that cares and is completely unknown to the caller, that understands, makes sense doesn't it?

Hello Daffodil, I have a friend that has had Vulva cancer. If you can send me a private message then I can put you in contact with her.

Thanks for this. I had uterine cancer 4 years ago. Actually my profile photo now shows the symbol for uterine cancer and September is the month to recognise it. Our colour is apricot.

bev

Thanks for that. Don't you all just love daffodils? I have had a lot flower in various parts of our gardens this year. One corner garden that years ago I decided to dedicate to my dad, had over 20 flowers out. It looked great. Dad, I am sure that you would have loved them too.
