@suesam Wow, this is such good news! Thank you so much for coming back and letting us know the outcome of your biopsy.
It does sound like your "new" doctor who specializes in the care of women is just the kind of caring doctor that all of us wish to see. And then the changing schedule with the gynecologist that you had so worried? Who could have predicted that the changes were related his wife having a baby?
Isn't it curious how much we learn about ourselves and others when we go through these difficult periods of our lives? No one signs up for this but the older I get the more I realize that my years on this earth have earned me my gray hairs. I say this from the wisdom I think I've gained over the years and how so many of my own difficulties have led me to meet people and hav enduring relationships that I would never have had under other circumstances.
It's so kind of you to message the nurse who was your former student. Again, this is an encounter with her you would not have otherwise had.
Please continue to come back and read, listen, and support. Your message may be long but I read every single word carefully. You can see my messages are not exactly short either!
So, what you doing to celebrate your good news? ❤️🎉
Thanks, Helen, great to hear from you! You have been a Godsend to me throughout this. I actually came home and fell asleep - I was so exhausted - I mean, I could feel my heart beating fast as I waited for the doctor. Then I went to dog school - my dog and I compete - so we train with a trainer every week. This is always loads of fun. I told my sister and my brothers and some friends I'd confided in and I'm meeting with them over the next couple of weeks. I learned all about endometrial cancer from this forum which is knowledge I'm glad I have now and I am also glad that I'll be monitored. I tried so hard to keep busy over the last few months but I knew I was really stressed playing that 'waiting game' but you are sooooo right - I connected with people I would never have otherwise. That nurse - my former student - is only in her early 30's and having a complete hysterectomy - she has 2 little children - but they found a spot on her ovaries they're not sure about. It was so great seeing her again. This forum is also amazing and so supportive and kind. I was able to share my 'real' thoughts which was wonderful. I'm also going to get my health under more control - eat better, exercise more, and take care of myself more. Everyone on this forum has truly inspired me. That's for sure!
