My Darling Daughter

[mallyh]

my darling daughter has just been told she has cancer of the cervix ,the surgeon is almost sure its stage 1 ,she has loads of test and scans next week to check other organs then the following week has an hysterectomy.the thing is now she knows shes very upbeat its me whose a basket case,ive come on to ab to try and get my thoughts in order ( if you follow me) .i'm very positive when i'm with her but really i want to scream and shout .

You have to love AB..So many lovely people,who've been through so much. xx

[icemaiden]

A total shock for all of you. Stay strong mallyh. xxx

So sorry to hear about your daughter mallyh, never good to have to face, but start off positively when you have come to terms with the shock. I know exactly what you feel like when a close family member was diagnosed in December with cancer. We are still positive and things are going as well as possible...no consolation but try to keep upbeat when you can...though I know just how difficult it will be. {{hugs}}

I can only imagine what you must be thinking, I would go to pieces I'm sure. But take heart and listen to Sqad, as an retired consultant he has the most experience and DTC is very sensible, calming and kind - in fact most ABers are very kind, they pick you up when you are feeling down, listen and encourage - that is the nice side of AB and making friends on here. Thinking of you Mally x

[mallyh]

Hey Mally,
I had cervical cancer in 2011, everyone one on here was amazing! With any luck your daughters has been picked up as early as mine and it really will be over before you know it! Mine was cured with surgery, I had my cervix removed and that was followed by a hysterectomy a couple of months later, just to get rid of a few stray cells and job done :0)
I know a diagnosis of cancer knocks you on your bum, but you have to be strong for her. I wish I'd had my Dad [don't talk to my mum lol] there for me.... anyone really lol... I just got this lot ;0) So be strong!!!

Healing thoughts from me to her

Hi Mally, hope to see a further post that all has gone well and your daughter has been cured.

[mallyh]

she had scans and xrays tuesday and was told (thankfully) that lungs etc were clear ,next week she goes in for an op to check her ovaries closer as theres a cyst and all her other bits in the womb ,her surgeon wants to make s
sure theres no cancer other than the cervix then following week hysterectomy .she had a nasty time saturday when blood exploded from her rear my grandson phoned us straight away an said mummy's not well on her knees the surgeon thinks this could either be an infection from the coloscopy or a build up of pressure if it happens again we 're to ring 999 .my poor little grandson has been very quite since but we've praised him up for been so brave .thankyou for your concern maziexxx

Are they giving her one of those complete body scans - if not, might be worth going private for that....just a thought, mallyh.

[grasscarp]

Oh dear Mallyh. This is so difficult for you all. Your grandson is a brave lad and very sensible to call you. I hope that everything goes well and hopefully in two weeks time the worse will be over. xx

Reading this puts purse pinching and other problems that make us a bit down and fed up into perspective.....
Sending the family lots of love and best wishes for a good result. A hug to your grandson...or a stout pat on the back if he's feeling boyish!
Love Gx
