Maybe I am just being stupid for being stressed over this all, but I don't really have anyone to talk to and the decisions I make feel big, surgery no surgery which consultant to trust ...

I have a lovely hubby who adores me. But is just happy it's not cancer is very action oriented . He wants to just fix me with surgery not understanding the implications or details of it all. My only buddy is a bloke and this is now way tmi . Had hoped to confide in a lady at work today then found out she was on brink of breakdown and self harming and spent session counselling her to get help instead! Have nowhere to go and meanwhile this was my first day back after being ill with it all. ... just finding it all so very hard. ....

You are not stupid for feeling stressed about it all. The decisions we face and the implications of them are far reaching and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and alone. I have found huge comfort in this forum from sharing my feelings when it feels like no one else understands and reading other people's experiences.

I am also contemplating surgery, should I / shouldn't I and how much surgery to agree to. It's definitely not an easy decisions. Ask as many questions as you need to of your consultant, that's what they are there for.

Best wishes x
