Uninvited.
Undetected.
Unsuspected…there is no family history, you see.
Uterine Cancer is the fourth main cause of death in women so
I’m sharing details in hopes that you can protect yourselves. Search for the
the symptoms for cancer that were on Yahoo front page last week. But
don’t let that be your only guide. I
only had two of those symptoms.
Fatigue…if you’re juggling family, job and writing then you’re
bound to be exhausted. No surprise there.
Spotting…there is absolutely “No Bleeding Allowed” after
menopause. I picked up a box of books, felt pain and then spotting. A Pap smear
taken the same day as my biopsy came back normal. But the biopsy didn’t.
I am lucky. The surgeon found no attachment of the tumor to
the uterus lining or any cells. Other than being larger than he would hope I
seem to have a bright outlook.
My GP said lifting the box of books had nothing to do with
the spotting…I choose to believe differently. You and I know we share a special
karma with books and two weeks after surgery I’m itching to crawl back into my
story in progress when the fog in my brain clears.
So stay alert about your health. Be your own best health
advocate. Know your body and seek medical help if you have any suspicious
signs. Stay safe.
And read…
So what are some of the good books you are reading now?
