I've so missed having you around Dee. You are a fantastic person and I love that you look at life differently to most of us, that's what makes it great and fun to have you around. I never worry about what you're thinking because you're not afraid to say it and I love that about you. I'm so glad that you're getting this sorted and I hope you will be around the forum so that you can get the support from here. You are a very strong person, I know this, but a little support is always good too Plus we miss you! My mum had breast cancer recently and had to have a mastectomy. She went through it all with a joke and a smile on her face and I believe that's what got her and us all through it. Stay positive...you'd be amazed by the power it has.

I am sorry that you are going through this Dee but I am glad that they have figured out what is wrong. You are in my thoughts!

You have been missed a lot on the forum. I love your posts because you never have to figure out what is on your mind and you make me smile and laugh so frequently! I hope you feel up to returning to the forums soon.

I think it is wonderful that you shared your story so that others might take the time to get something checked out if they are not feeling not quite up to par.

Take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear about your health, but it's a very good thing you finally got it diagnosed! Hoping everything checks out okay in the biopsy and that the horrible symptoms you were having go away completely.

So sorry, I am so happy for you that you are finally getting the help you need. I had a sister in law that was treated for 4 years for a bad back, shots in the back etc. and the whole time it was ovarian cancer, so many Dr's ignore womens problems.

Wow Dee, thank you so much for sharing this with us all, i'm sure it has made a lot of people think about their health, even if they don't display these same symptoms, it can be all too easy to put off going to the doctor and bury your head in the sand!

I'll be thinking of you on Friday. I hope all goes well enabling you get back to your old self and start living your life again!

Darling Dee, I keep rereading this thread and struggling with what to say to you. I am so glad that you went to your doctor and insisted that they check you out and grateful that your friend prodded you to do so. I am also hopeful that the mass turns out to be benign and that the hysterectomy helps you feel better and get back to the life you enjoyed before you started having problems. If it is not benign, well, then I think that nasty lump should be shaking in its boots cause I heartily believe you could kick its ***! Thank you for the reminder to take responsibility for our own health into our own hands. I would like to add, please, ladies, have your mammograms done! I was diagnosed with breast cancer on my very first mammogram at the ge of 42, and if the mammogram I have he end of the month is okay, I will be celebrating my seventh cancer free year shortly after I celebrate my fiftieth birthday. And Dee, sweetie, if they say you need chemo, it isn't as bad as it used to be and you get out of shaving your legs for months. Love and kisses to you! Don't stay gone again please! At least just come on and give us hell now and then, okay?
