Hi
Found out 2 weeks ago that I have Stage 1 Endometrial Cancer. This was diagnosed after I noticed bleeding after the menopause (I'm 59). Transvaginal Ultrasound, Hysteroscopy, Biopsy, MRI Scan completed. Hysterectomy booked for 2 weeks time. I also have FSH Muscular Dystrophy so am concerned about my recovery after the op.
I have also been suffering with back pain and hip pain, not sure if these things are linked. Would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation
Hi Sparkling 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 had different cancer diagnoses to you I know how helpful I found being able to talk to others here.
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 have the same type of cancer 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.
