Jackie

At time of diagnosis I was 52 - and like many people diagnosed on my birthday -

so I can remember exactly when.

I will be sending a birthday card to my haem. this year just so he can share my

birthday . He will laugh.

You Jackie

Need to get some sleep - not sleeping will have huge impacts on your health

besides becoming one demented woman

You need the rest for your body to heal - amazing that you just don't sleep for

hours anyway from the blood loss - even

on the pill - you would need to have some rest periods.

Sounds very much like you need to make some sort of decision on how much having

a hysterectomy or not to have one

is to play on your overall health. You cannot make that decision without a good

base of information - so speak to your

specialist and a good gyno - that will share care your health issues. Yes your

other medical specialists need to have

knowledge of your CML and your blood results so that they also can give sound

advise that you can make some

decision making on.

That decision making was taken out of my hands - as my bleed out was life

threatening at point of time - and as time

goes on it really has been a great decision in terms of health issues.

You cannot make informed decisions if you are not informed or not in a good head

space to take on information and ask

the right questions if you are too tired to think

If you wish to contact me privately - I will give you my phone number and we can

chat if you wish

Keep Well
