When I got the news over 7,000 women in the UK get every year, I felt a small range of emotions; and probably not those many women get.
Of course there was shock and also a slight surprise. The reason I say slight, is I knew this was coming; I felt it in my bones. I knew something was wrong, I knew something was not right in me. Yet I kept getting told it was nothing, that I was worried over something natural - this constant bleeding and heavy bleeding was normal?
Of course it wasn't, it is one (well, two) of the most common symptoms when it comes to cancer of the womb - and yep, my Dr's missed it... Despite my continual protests. Yet, I am not angry (my folks are a different matter mind you!) because it WAS caught. I didn't give in or up, I kept on at them. In short people, DON'T GIVE UP.
I am lucky, it could have been left longer and it could have got far worse. It is also one of the cancers that has a good survival rate, it may only need the womb removing - which is technically what I wanted anyways!
It has taken me a whole to find the right words, enough to do it justice; but not too many as to worry you all. I am going to be just fine, you don't get rid of me THAT easily!!!
