I've (very recently) been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. I had a fibroid removed a few weeks ago and it was sent for testing (standard procedure) and the fucker turned out to be cancerous.
I'm waiting to have further scans and tests to establish exactly what I'm dealing with, but I've been advised that I'm going to need a hysterectomy. We have one small child, and I was hoping we would have another in a couple of years. I am happy to sacrifice my womb if it means beating this cancer, but I'm struggling with this choice being taken away, I am so sad I won't get to have another baby. I know we're lucky to have one, but it's still so hard to process.
I've been trying to keep my shit together since I found out, but I've had a few glasses of wine this evening and frankly I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. I don't know what I'm hoping to get from this thread. If there's anyone out there who has been through similar or has any words of wisdom, feel free to throw them my way.
