I've been diagnosed with endometrial cancer and im waiting for an mri scan app but I was wondering if anyone knows what stage 4 symtoms are.

I know I shouldn't worry untill after I've had the scan but my symptoms are more than bleeding

    Hi 

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You are now in what was, in my experience, the most difficult part of the journey. Waiting for MRI scans etc before your doctors can start treatment is just the pits. 
    I was diagnosed with stage 3, grade 3 womb cancer in 2014. My symptoms included weight loss and fatigue on top of the bleeding. However, I’d say you’re quite right when you say you know you shouldn’t worry about what stage you are. It’s completely pointless and changes nothing. It just makes you miserable at a time when there are better things to do. Things such as getting yourself fit before the surgery and joining the womb cancer group here in this community. If you click the link below, it should take you to the group. The women there are kind and supportive and will welcome you with a big hug.

    I wish you all the best. I know the waiting is hard. But you can do it.
