Hi
Just joined today,
I'm Nikki 40 years old, had a full hysterectomy last august at the age of 39 due to health reasons, which was ovarian cancer,
It was a shock as for last 3 years i kept having a recurring cyst on my ovary about 10x10x10cm it was found when i was 12 weeks pregnant with my youngest child, at 16 weeks pregnant i was rushed into hospital with severe pains, when they opened me up from belly button down to bottom of my stomach so not to harm the baby to much, they found the cyst was stuck on my bowels and ovary and could not be removed, they just drained it,
then over the past 3 years i have had this cyst drained about 6 times, the last time it was drained was July 2012, the results came back showing cancerous cells in the fluid, i had a letter on the Tuesday to go in and see my consultant on the Friday, when i entered the room my consultant introduced me to a 'Macmillan Nurse' that is when i knew something was wrong, after a long discussion, He had given me a appointment to go into hospital the next Monday for a full hysterectomy, 2 days notice, wow i was scared.
I am now healthy, it has not spread and they caught it earlier enough and removed everything,
I am now on HRT and am getting on with things slowly,
I have my helath and my 4 beautiful children and a lovely husband

Now a problem i have got, I am on HRT since Aug 2012, i have put on over a stone of weight, i went back to my GP and she said it was not the HRT tablets causing this and would not change my tablets i am on Premarin 0.625,
Any way i have been training for a half marathon for the last god knows how long, i run 6 miles a day at the moment 3 times a week, eat very healthy, and still no weight lose i am 5" and weigh nearly 10 stone,
I used to be 5" and weigh 8.4 stone before my operation,
it is getting me very depressed at the moment, i dont know what else do to do, does anyone else have these problems ??
