Hystology results in

I’m sorry to hear that it is the serous type this must be a worrying time, there are a few women on here that have the same I think.  Mine is different to yours but I am on chemo and it is doable, it seems daunting at first but once you get into the swing of it it doesn’t seem as bad. X

• Thank you for your reply. Really daunting and hard stay positive. Trying to think about what's next is hard. xxx

Hi Tess

I'm the same grade 1a Serous. 

I'm a week ahead of you as I  my op was 5 weeks ago , I had radical hysterectomy plus lymph nodes removed for  testing  and omentum.

My results were that cancer contained in the uterus only and no spread. 

I was so relieved to hear no spread but was overwhelmed to have to make a choice whether or not to have chemotherapy.

There is a thread on this group  I started  may interest you called:

DECISION TO MAKE-HELP. 

Please ask if you have any other questions.  There are some other lovelies  on this forum with Serous cancer and we are all dealing it in our own ways but we are gaining strength  from each other. I have found huge comfort being able to share my fears and concerns.

We are here for each other and here for you too. 

Take care x

Thank you Mad,

My op was the same as yours. I will definitely look into the thread. Have you seen your oncologist and decided on your treatment. xx

Hi Mad, sorry just seen all the replies to you.

I am still awaiting my call from the oncologist

The surgeon did say they got all the cancer out, and just said it's still stage one but serous. So I suppose I will need to discuss the types of treatment at my appointment when it happens.

• I know serous is a much more agressive cancer and that there is a higher chance of reoccurance. So my anxiety levels tonight are through the roof. Haven't stopped crying. cxx

Tess  God bless you  it's so hard coming to terms  I remember the consultant telling  me it was high grade serous and I was shocked.  I started reading everything about it and became very scared.  But I also realised that It was found very early and that I have every chance of being rid for good.

In the results letter my surgeon wrote that the results were very reassuring, so thats very positive,  they could've been worse.  So now after seeing Oncologist last week being told I need 3 sessions of BRACHYTHERAPY  and optional CHEMOTHERAPY I opted to go for the whole lot and am waiting to start chemo soon.

I just think to myself....it could've been a lot worse.....I have been given a chance.

You will find much support on here as I have.

Thank you so much. I think I will take whatever is needed to sort this out. Will keep you posted once I know what that will be. It's still very raw at the moment. I'm hoping I will sleep ok tonight and will be in a more positive frame of mind in the morning. I really hope all goes well for you Mad and thank you for your support. xxx

Bless you Tess. I’m not in the same position as you, but wanted you to know I’m thinking of you.

Hi Tess 

Just wanted to mention a few other lovely ladies

In the Serous type of cancer treatments, in case you want to follow their journey, the few I can remember from top of my head, there are many more, but they are:

Hi Mad,

Thank you, will definitely take a look. Didn't sleep too well last night, feel like I am in a nightmare that I can't wake up from. Not coping well at the moment. Although recovering well so far from my abdominal hysterectomy, have not ventured outside for weeks, it seems I've become a bit of a recluse, finding it hard to see anyone or talk to anyone apart from my partner. He works from home, but is busy in his office all day, so I just do some light housework and watch television most of the day.

My best friend lives a long way away but we do speak every day and she has been brilliant

I must try and get out of this rut I'm in and start living, rather than just an existence. I hope I will feel better once I have a treatment plan. Sorry to sound so depressing. xxx
