I have just had a phone call from the Macmillan nurse who had promised to let me know the histology result following my hysterectomy and the removal of the tumour which had been attached to my fallopian tube, omentum, appendix and bowel. It was benign. Yes, benign. I can hardly believe it. I don`t think I have ever cried tears of happiness before.
Apparently there were a few cells attached to my appendix which they coud not identify, and as a precautionary measure I am going to have a colonoscopy in a few weeks. However, as I have not experienced any symptoms related to bowel cancer I am going to be optimistic.
I am just so relieved the tumour was benign I could shout it from the roof tops, and if I was not still feeling a tad uncomfortable from the hysterectomy I would dance round the room.

How wonderful, Anthea, I am so pleased for you and your family and friends. You will have to plan some sort of celebration for them all. I am sure the other bits you're waiting for the results from, will be fine. All you have to do now is get on with recovering from your hysterectomy and then think 'what next?' You will live life with extra relish from now on.
Well done to you and your medical team
Love Wendy xx
The best possible news, Anthea.
A bit soon for dancing, perhaps, but a nice glass of champagne wouldn't go amiss!
Hi Anthea, Wonderful news, really delighted for you. I know what its like to cry tears of joy when they told me the nodules in my pancreas were nothing to worry about, so enjoy your news to the full. love Marg xx
That's great news, you must be over the moon. Thank you for letting us all know.
I had a rapid analysis done on the larger ovarian mass that I had whilst I was still under the anathestic, that came back benign. I get the rest of the histology results this Friday.
Thank you everyone. I will most certainly keep visiting this site. You are all so wonderful and you gave me so much hope and reassurance when I was feeling scared and lonely.
My fingers are firmly crossed for you Karen. I hope your news continues along good lines.
Much love to you all.
Anthea
That's amazing I am SO pleased for you! Lets hope the next investigation is just as positive and that you can then breathe a sigh of relief
Dear Anthea, This is indeed fantastic news. You'll soon be up and dancing about in celebration. It's great to have such happy news to read. Xxxx love Annie
This is wonderful news , couldn't be happier for you.
You have been very lucky in terms of what was found , but you still have had a big trauma , so take things very easy for the next few weeks and months.
Great news! take care while recovering from your op- my notes to recovery said you were not suppose to hoover for six months ( or that is what I told my husband!).
