Wife/Carer - cancer ?

No - nothing about any treatment at all

That's disappointing @Wibbles, has she had an appointment through to chat about it? Hopefully they'll be able to talk her through what the next steps might be soon. Hope you're both managing okay.

She had polyps removed about 30 years ago.
It appears that they have returned.
She's got a phone call next Monday.

Thank you for updating us @Wibbles. Been thinking of you and your wife. I hope it all goes well on Monday and take good care.

Had phone call - evidently she's now got to go to Gynaecology in 2 weeks time !!
Her GP couldn't tell her anything
She had to book the appointment on line and we are unsure whether it was done correctly or not - because to start with - the app said "not for patient to attend…."
but we think that it's been done correctly now - why couldn't her GP book it ???
She's stopped bleeding - she tells me 3 days ago - but is extremely tired !

That's reassuring that she's stopped bleeding @Wibbles, I'd imagine it must have all been so draining mentally as well as physically. Not an easy time for either of you, I'm sure.
Fingers crossed the Gynaecology team will be able to guide her on the next steps and get her feeling more like herself. 2 weeks is a good amount of time too, it sounds like they're taking it seriously at least and not putting her on a huge waiting list.

Update :
She's gone off (on her own), this morning for a Gynaecology appointment to see whether it is cancer or not…..
I wanted to go with her - but this is apparently not possible due to the "size of the room" !

Thank you for the update @Wibbles
I hope you are both okay. Must be such a worrying time.0 -
It certainly is
Especially when my wife told me that she should be home in about an hour.
That was almost 3 hours ago!!

Her phone is off too !!

She got back after almost four hours - she had a biopsy (they found and removed some Polyps) and await the results of that - it's going to be another 2 weeks for the results - but things don't look very promising !

Sorry to hear that @Wibbles. It must have been very disappointing for you both not to have found out for sure

OK The bad news is that she has cancer - womb - she's having a scan this afternoon, to check that it hasn't spread !
The good news - I'm going to the appointment with her.
more later - probably

Really sorry to hear that @Wibbles. I hope the appointment goes well this afternoon and that it brings some positive news for you both.

Indeed, I feel your pain, the NHS are incompetent most of the time but at least we still have it.

I'm so sorry to hear that @Wibbles. Very glad you're able to go with her today and I'm keeping everything crossed for your wife's scan. Take good care.

I'm so sorry @Wibbles. I hope you get some clear answers in the appointment. We're here to give you support.

She has an op to remove her womb
It's a simple keyhole job
