Long drawn out mc, they thought was twins, then they thought it was molar. Had D&C on the 31st march, still bleeding.

2 weeks ago now they found a tumour in my uterus wall and half on my section tissue. Was told by consultant I would be seen by then end of last week for MRI, been ringing everyday to be told to ring back tomorrow.

Just rung today and now it seems as though Ill be waiting another week...

They have no clue what it is the big C was mentioned, Im fed up of it hanging over me, Im not sleeping, not eating, got a mouth full of ulcers through worry, snapping at people. I just hung up on the hospital today because I was told to ring back this morning to make the appt over the phone... Then this morning was told I couldnt.

I have an appt with my consultant tomorrow afternoon to discuss results of MRI Which I havnt feckin had yet

I keep thinking, if it is Cancer, then surely every day its in there its growing and getting worse

how absolutely horrible, i am very sorry this is happening to you. can you call consultant's office and tell them you haven't had scan, maybe there is something they can do to intervene?

Oh Julez, how awful for you. Call the consultant's office and cry at the receptionist - that often works. Tell her how worried you are and that they haven't done your scan yet - tell her everything and if possible speak to your consultant - he can kick butt on your behalf.

Good luck.

I cant get through to the consultant, Im always put through to the same nurse, who I was told yesterday is off till tomorrow so I wont know anything. I rung the Radiology dept yesterday and was told to ring back today...

Just feels like Im being fobbed off. Consultant knows apparently tht I havnt had my scan. I have a few more thing I need to discuss with her so I will still go tomorrow

Hopefully they'll be able to do your scan whilst you are there tomorrow.

I think it is positive that they keep telling you to ring back the next day - if they were fobbing you off then they wouldnt want you to call back.
You must be terribly worried by all this, i hope that when you do have your MRI it is good news.

I know how you feel. It's such a long time to wait. I think it sounds as if you are at the stage of needing to use Strategic Tears In Public. I'm only half joking. I've not done it deliberately but I may in the future because the times I have burst into tears everything has happened magically.

Good luck. Don't hesitate to tell the consultant how anxious you are. They need to know.

(((Julez))) I'm so sorry you're going through this I don't have any experience with anything like this I'm afraid, but I hope that the consultant appt today goes well, and you get the MRI and some good news soon.

Fllight · 30/04/2008 12:15

Oh God Julez.
I had no idea you were going through this, it must feel like hell.

I wanted to say that my friend had a hysterectomy last year, after an operation for ovarian cysts resulted in the discovery of a tumour also.

She has had chemo and seems to be in remission, which is good as she has a little boy of 2. OC is rarely survived but this goes to show it's possible.

I hope you get somewhere soon with the diagnostics, is there any way you might be able to go private?

Pavlovthecat · 30/04/2008 12:19

I am sorry you have had such a horrid time after your MC, good luck this afternoon, positive thoughts with you.

How did it go, sweetheart?
Have you had any luck getting something sorted out?
