I have been told stage 1a grade 1 and the nearer I get to my operation waited 6 weeks from diagnosed ( gyno on holiday and said she’d do it when she’s back as I wanted her ) so not seen he4 since Dec 1 st
I read mri and that was a concern as said I had moderate volume of tumour whatever that means in uterus but still staged at 1a
I fear it’s spreading .nodes and pelvis was all clear on mri but as I’ve had to wait keep thinking it will be a worse grade after op , I wondered how many stay the same after the hysterectomy , such a worry as every pain I get in that area worries me let alone the actual operation
Hi Molly sue
I have just replied on your other post.
I think we all worry about spreading and every ache and pain and that is normal but your op is now very soon. Just try to hang on to that. I would suggest not to read too much of your medical results eg the MRI because it is all written in medical language that we do not really understand and we can read things into it, that aren't there or misinterpret. At this stage it is all provisional and things will be looked at in more detail after the op. That is the time when the doctors will have the full information to talk things through with you and answer any questions.
Leave your very experienced doctors to worry about the finer details and trust them to get you operated on very soon and back home to recover with your family. I wish you all the best with your surgery and please do keep us updated

Hi Mollysue
perhaps try and concentrate on the good news! Your predicted stage is 1a and you are grade 1. Although you cannot be absolutely certain about the stage until after the operation MRI scans are usually pretty accurate. The MRI also shows clear nodes and pelvis that’s good news! Nobody wants to have this diagnosis it’s absolutely horrible but it is what it is and we have to get on with it. We all wonder about the what ifs but perhaps try and focus on the positives with your diagnosis. I know it’s hard but try not to let it consume you. You have twin granddaughters they must be such a blessing enjoy the times with them before your op.
Hugs
Linda
