I have a friend who was diagnosed with that a few years ago. Have you thought of giving 131120 a call and ask for Cancer Connections. I am a volunteer for cancer connections, for that, a patient gives cancer connect their cancer history that they want to discuss. That info is then matched with a volunteer that has experienced similar details, and they are asked to contact the patient by phone. Everything is confidential. Yes, it does help to talk to someone that has experienced something that you are facing. ... View more

Hello again, Not sure, but will try to join in Monday night. I am also a volunteer for cancer council NSW with their cancer connect programme. That is where a patient is matched up with a volunteer that has experienced the cancer, the treatment, side effects or anything else that you both have in common. It is over the phone and completely confidential. If interested call 131120 and ask to be connected to cancer connect. It is good to know that you can talk to someone that understands. ... View more

I had cancer of the uterus 7 years ago. For at least 2 years before that I had bleeding and discharge 24/7. My GP told me that I was too fat, but reluctantly sent me for a pelvic scan. Result came back as fibroids, and he told me it was normal. So, finally after lots of hassling,he referred me to a gyno, and he took some biopsies. That was on the Friday, and he also booked me in for a hysteroscopy for the following Tuesday. I got an urgent call from his rooms on the Monday, asking me to go and see him. He told me that he believed that I had cervical cancer, but to be sure he would send me for a CT scan, and had already made an appointment to see a gyno oncologist on Thursday. No, I didn't have the hysteroscopy on Tuesday, but after seeing the gyno oncologist on Thursday he booked me in for one the following Tuesday. On that Tuesday the gyno oncologist told me then that it was uterine cancer. At this stage then we also went to a new GP that had been recommended to us. He tried to get test results previously but the old GP would not release them. Anyhow, 3 weeks after the hysteroscopy & D & C, I had a modified radical hysterectomy and lymph nodes removed. Followed by 28 days of radiation. I do not have check ups anymore, but because I am 3rd generation cancer, have to have annual colonoscopies, my next one is due this Friday. Also have mammograms every 2nd year too. I was actually quite pleased when I was told I had cancer, at least, and at last I knew what was wrong with all the bleeding. I am now a volunteer for cancer connect and talk regularly with ladies about their uterine cancer and side effects. ... View more
