I had BC stage 1 grade 2 diagnosed Dec 23. Had surgery to remove three lumps, chemo, radiotherapy now on Tamoxifen. Have recently had biopsy and been diagnosed with EH without Atypia. BC was hormone positive for both - is a full hysterectomy the right choice for me? It's what's been recommended. I'm 47. Anyone had a similar diagnosis?

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've not had a diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia I know how difficult treatment decisions can be.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the womb cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who've had to weigh up the same options as you.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
