I don't mind talking about it, helps me a lot, but for those who'd

rather not know then skip this one!

The surgery is basically the last resort. Since having Emilie, March

2000 I have bled more or less continuosly. I have a few days respite

but not much. They cannot pinpoint the reason. 1stly PPH 4 hrs

following birth, 5 units blood transfusion, then very heavy since.

I've had a D&C, a Mirena Coil fitted (then removed 6 weeks later as

it made me worse), high dosage progesterone and most recently Zoladex

implants to induce the menoapuse - and nothing! Still bleeding with

some very bad moments/bleeds - twice started whilst out shopping,

blood all over the floor etc - very embarassing and even more

shocking - last time it happened in hair dressers and they called

ambulance. What gets the most damage through all this is my pride

but no-one seems to give a damn about that.

Anyway on last visit to consultant he said that he feels (90%)that

the problem is more deep rooted seeing as I am not responding to any

of the hormones being given. Given that they give me a smear every 4

weeks and last one was fine and yet this one showed 'abnormal' cells,

he feels that I most likely also have deep rooted abnormality within

the wall of the womb. Naturally they will not use the C word but he

said the only way to find out was biopsy and he was so sure they

would have to re-open me up that they will remove everything anyway.

On 30th Aug I have hysterectomy, removal of cervix, removal of

ovaries and anything else that looks affected. Unfortunatly I will

have to have the Op the old fashioned way - cut open, as it will be

the only way they can have a good look around.

Anyway, I have had a history of Gynae problems and always knew that

this was inevitable. Just didn't think it would happen at 34, when I

have 2 adorable daughters who need looking after. I must count my

lucky stars that I even have them, as once upon a time I was told

that I'd never have any. I suppose that having been blessed with 2 I

was being greedy and wanted 4! Life recently has become increasingly

difficult, I find it hard looking after the girls as I am tired all

the time (anaemic?) In the long run I am sure that this is for the

best and I will soon be up and running around with the girls again

but here and now? I am so very very frightened - there I've admitted

it.

You poor thing, how absolutely awful. You have every right to be a bit

teary and scared - I'm teary for you. Sending lots of cyberhugs and

positive vibes. ( And yes I guess I wouldn't ditch DD1's dummy right

now - Christmas would do just as well imho)
