If I'm not around at times, this is why.
Having been suffering post-menopausal bleeding since mid October, my doctor arranged an 'emergency' gynae appointment at our local hospital. I saw the loveliest consultant yesterday, had internal scans and a Doppler test (for possible pelvic thrombosis). I have a strange searing pain in my inner thigh which my doctor couldn't explain.
Anyway, Mr Peter Larsen - Disney, (a softly spoken gentleman from Melbourne, Australia) a consultant gynaecologist, specialising in oncology left me numb. He thinks I may have uterine cancer and I will be called in to hospital within two weeks for further tests under anaesthetic. It may, of course, just be hormonal problems. He told me to try and enjoy Christmas and he'd see me asap afterwards.
I still feel numb above the shoulders, all my pain is below my waist.
I texted my boss last night to let him know how I got on and went into work this morning to find a big bunch of flowers on my desk. He has told me he appreciates my efforts in going to work but to go home as soon as I feel it's all too much.
I am trying hard to be positive, after all this is one of the more curable cancers, if this is what I have. Obviously I didn't get any sleep last night, I'm going for a nap shortly.
I know I have good friends here and you will know that if I go missing for any length of time it is not because I'm fed up with you or the the Rowan Tree.
