Hello Everyone I am new here and hope everyone is feeling as well as they possibly can today. My story .......... In 2014, I was dignosed with Breast Cancer at a routine mammogram appointment. Wow, such a bolt from the blue and totally unexpected. My GP said, ok double mastectomy. I was floored and decided I would get a second opinion which I did as my tumour was only 0.9cm and Stage 1, Grade 1. I had a lumpectomy and 29 sessions of RT. I recovered really well and whilst I’d had a big shock, I got on with my life and put it behind me.  Fast forward 6 years and I started to have pale, watery orange vaginal discharge. I had just started walking 5klms a day and put it down to that as I was nervous about going to the GP with Covid around as my elderly parents live in my house with me. I left it for a few months then reluctantly saw my doctor who sent me for an internal ultrasound which showed a thickened uterine lining of 9mm. I was referred to a specialist who took a biopsy and fitted a Mirena IUD. A week later, the surgeon called me and told me over the phone that it was cancer and I needed a hysterectomy which I had last November. Tumour was approx. 5x2cms, had gone through more than half of the myometrium and I had very minimal LVSI. Stage 1b and Grade 2.  I had 30 sessions of RT. I now feel a real mess as I can’t get past the fact that I will be dead in a few years (I’m 63). I have some antidepressants but I have feelings of absolute terror 4 or 5 times a day when I think of my death. My GP says I have PTSD from 2 shock diagnoses but that doesn’t take away my absolute fear. Uterine/endometrial cancer has high chance of recurrence and prognosis is poor. Is anyone in my shoes who would be happy to correspond please ? Thank you Jan ... View more
