Hello. I have been in remission from Stage 2 Grade 3 endometrial cancer for two years. I recently noticed a little blood in morning sputum and reported to doctor. He questioned me and I have no other red flag symptoms, Sent for X-ray. Radiologist said no abnormalities but slight shading behind left side of heart which doctor wants to check on. Blood test done and waiting for CT scan. Doctor has told me not to worry but that is very difficult. I have suffered with chronic pain since treatment ended and had been working on calming my nervous system to help ease pain but now with these new investigations I am finding it hard to stay calm. Any advice welcomed
Hi ShanLan the wait for the CT scan and results is always unbearable and staying calm is virtually impossible but talk to your CNS, Talk to someone on the Macmillan Helpline on 0808 808 0000 they'll offer help and support.

Sending hugs, Barb xx

Unfortunately the scan showed a small mass in long. My doctor says the good news is that it is small, contained and no evidence of spread and prognosis is good. I have been referred to lung specialists. Quite a shock to get this news. Just want treatment to progress as quickly as possible. Trying to carry on with normal life but it is hard
