Hello 
I have been visiting this wonderful group for nearly three weeks, but still am to have a diagnosis. Have 9cm complex mass, CA125 of 1234, thickened womb lining and suspicious looking lymph node. I have been referred to larger hospital in our area but waiting on being discussed at MDT as womb biopsy results pending. I have learnt so much from you all in this time and am so thankful for this and the flashes of positivity from hearing from those living life whilst battling and surviving.
I am trying to prepare myself for what is to come, but have a query. Initially I was told to expect chemo then surgery and then more chemo. This seems to be very common and I understand the particular cocktail of chemo will be dependent on the cancer. However, last discussion indicated I may go straight to surgery and then likely chemo. My understanding is that May because they can’t get a biopsy from the mass/anywhere else and this is why I have been tormented by waiting on womb biopsy took on admission.
can anyone let me know if one route of treatment is seen as more effective than another? What is implication for surgery prior to chemo? Is longer stretch of chemo more difficult to endure owing to cumulative factors?
TIA - I am just trying to fumble through with a little awareness to be able to make decisions and ask the right questions.
