Hey ladies...its been a seriously loooong day today..more psychological than anything else.
Done gentle pottering etc..had a bath when isla went to nursery...and then off we went to the hospital.
Sooo sat down in the corridor...and promptly started fidgeting. Was trying to figure out which door I would be going in..and then sussed it out. The bit that got me worried was when my oncologists secretary went into the room..well that was it for me...i fell apart and the tear started falling.
Got called in....to be greeted by a room full of people...which didnt do me any good at all. The surgeon was there, 2 student doctors were there, the nurse was there and my oncologists secretary was there...so promptly burst into tears again..and nothing on this planet was going to stop them.
Mrs Law...are you ok..are you in pain....no just give me my results..i cant take any more waiting....soooooo he opened my file...and i hid behind my hands...and then he said the magic words...WE FOUND NO CANCER IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM..and im discharging you.
So that was it...floods of tears...and lots of thank fssss for that...right...now ill pay attention...he laughed at that. He asked if i minded if the student doctors stayed and i said it was fine...then figured out why they were there...hmm am an interesting case..patient presents with...and all that.
He said no nooky til the bleeding/discharge finishes..so fairy nuff. I asked about the menopausal symptoms...he said...and i quote...they will stop...and i said..do you promise...he chuckled and said that it will take time but the flushes and the night sweats etc will stop once my body has got used to the fact its past it (my words not his lol). He said it could take 6 months, or it could take 2 years..no way of knowing...i said for his sake itd better be 6 months.
I asked about the osteoperosis..and he said i cant see you having a problem with it..and then i pointed out that with all treatment and surgeries im now in the high risk category..then he said ahhhh yes...erm you cant have hrt..and i said nope..so he says to start taking calcium tablets and vitamin d tablets oh yeah and plenty of sunshine...of which my response was...have a word its november, have you looked outside lately! He said i can see the gp for a prescription of something or other if im still worried about it.
So there we go...so was an emotional wreck...20 minutes before going out to work. I didnt put a face on as i didnt want streaks all over the place.
I didnt realise just how much the stress of it had actually got to me..and once the tears started they just didnt stop. I sorted myself out before going to work, but have welled up a few times..but nothing spilling over. Im completely exhausted now..so am going to go off to my bed now.
