![]() The problem is that there is very little public awareness about the signs and symptoms for the disease, says Jane Lyons. But, as with most cancers, the earlier it is caught the better your chance of survival - in women diagnosed early there is an 85 per cent full recovery rate. ‘This may be due to the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy having a protective effect on the uterus.’ ‘Women who have never had children are twice as likely to develop womb cancer as women with children. ‘More women are also not having as many children,’ adds Juliette. ![]() ‘First, increasing numbers of us are overweight which has an effect on hormone balance.’ There’s also a link between womb cancer and diabetes. ‘But the numbers are mainly on the increase due to our current lifestyle,’ says Juliette. Around 5 to 10 per cent of womb cancers are due to a family link. Taking oestrogen-only HRT is also a risk factor, although most women, like Gabrielle, are prescribed both oestrogen and progesterone to reduce the risk of womb cancer. ‘And during menopause levels of the hormone progesterone, which has a protective effect on the lining of the womb, starts to drop, leaving the area susceptible to oestrogen’s adverse effects.’ Those most at risk are post-menopausal women.Īs Juliette Sim, a specialist cancer nurse at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London, explains: ‘Some cancers are hormone related. Indeed experts predict there will be between 33 and 53 per cent more cases within ten years, says Jane Lyons, chief executive of The Eve Appeal, a charity that funds research into gynaecological cancers. Also known as endometrial cancer, it affects the womb lining and, worryingly, the numbers affected are rapidly rising. Gabrielle is one of 7,500 women diagnosed each year with womb cancer - the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK. All I wanted to do was crawl into James’s pocket and stay there.’ And although I was subsequently told it had been caught early and was very treatable, I was numb. ‘After an internal examination where they took a biopsy (a scraping of the cells lining my womb), life changed as I had known it. ‘After an internal examination, my GP thought I probably had fibroids.’ These are very common benign tumours in the womb which can cause heavy bleeding, and Gabrielle was referred to a gynaecologist at Ipswich hospital. When the same thing happened a week later, on New Year’s Eve, she decided to see her GP. Although I have not tried Wake as a strap on, due to the shape of the base it is compatible with a harness.Fortunate: Gabrielle's cancer was caught early, but it could have been much worse as the symptoms of womb cancer are often hard to spotīy Christmas Eve, Gabrielle, of Woodbridge, Suffolk, felt totally shattered and took that ‘middle-aged’ body off to bed.Īlthough she felt slightly better the next morning, Gabrielle suffered heavy bleeding - despite being on HRT for the menopause. Lube, arousal, and determination is all it took to accomplish that feat for me! I've enjoyed Wake multiple times since then both vaginally and anally. Now it did take me a little warming up before I was able to take the knot fully. I was beyond excited the first time I “took the knot”. The knot isn’t extreme and doesn’t cause an overwhelmingly stretched feeling while you slide down on it. ![]() Honestly, the feeling of the knot is my favorite. Feeling these little textured spines while sliding down is an amazing feeling on its own. The outside edge of the curve has what I can only describe as “spines” that stick out ever so slightly. The curve positions the tip to rub against your g-spot while slowly taking every little dip and bump. Once you pass the tip, you begin to notice the ridges and curve of Wake. This design is perfect for easier penetration and helps you prepare for what is to come. When we look at the structure of Wake, we can see the slightly pointed tip.
