I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Not sure if we are going to go snap again @Faith-and-Hope but it’s ok. I’ll leave you to it. I think I have an answer.

@Faith-and-Hope I found my big girl pants, they’d been hiding under the bed :face_with_rolling_eyes:. I don’t see the point in going in today but will touch base by phone with her. I pay her a monthly rate no matter what contact we have. I’m hoping it’s ok. I will talk with her about missing my appointment with her today. Thank you for being here because your presence helped ground me.

Glad to have helped in some way @Teej .
There are such advances now that often medical results doing have the same weight or meaning that they did. It was like that with the advent of antibiotics. It made the world of difference to my Mum’s health and life expectancy, where only the week before neither were very good.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope . I’m expecting the initial treatment will be the same no matter what which will be a hysterectomy. I’m ok with that. It just felt like my appointment with therapist today would just be speculating, I couldn’t talk about anything else as my mind is not there. My GP appointment is at 5 so I’m biding my time. Also happened to get my periods today :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Looks like they are going out with a bang 😳😜

It appears like no cancer @Faith-and-Hope , @CheerBear and anyone else. It’s got to come out and things checked but all in all it’s pretty much what I expected.
@CheerBear it looks like there is a big chance of teeth in it from the scan 😳😖. Have a feeling it’s a gross one. 🤦♀️

Oh @CheerBear That is never fun. Two in a year is pushing it I reckon. Have you got support for the other two for now?
