@debbiejp Since it's the weekend, do you please to talk with the oncologist on call?
Thank you for note from yesterday. I felt somewhat detached during the diagnostic period before and after my hysterectomy in 2019. I was shocked on the day I received the diagnosis but then within 12 hours I became very practical and figured I needed to make sure all of my financial records were discoverable by my husband and my estate was in order. I had a much more difficult time with the recurrence two years later in 2021 as my cancer was considered highly treatable with a 95% 5-year-survival rate. My gyn-oncologist told me, though, that if I experienced a recurrence it would likely be detected during physical exam at the vaginal cuff. And that's exactly what happened in 2021. So, with that recurrence I am constantly looking over my shoulder for what's next. Over time I am worrying less but it's still there in the back of my mind.
Yes, let's stay in touch here. I feel blessed to be in contact with you too. Please let me know how you are feeling and what you decide to do about the bleeding.
