Just really worried as I have grade 3 not had staging yet I am petrified carnt seem to think of anything else 

  • Hi Alibingo1402,

    I also had grade 3 and it does seem the worst time waiting for the results. However, once the results are back treatment can be started as needed.

    All the best

  • Hi Anna what stage did you have and was the treatment tough hun xx

    1. Stage 2 but lymph node involvement so 3c x some days difficult but overall surprising how you get through it x 
  • Hi Alibongo1402

    It is natural to worry and I also remember not feeling able to think of much else. 

    I was also grade 3. I'm 2 years post treatment and doing ok. 

    With grade 3 they do tend to offer some follow up treatment so its good to prepare for that. I wasn't expecting any so it can feel a shock otherwise. 

    I think the thing to remember is that with grade 3, although it can potentially behave more aggressively in some ladies, it doesn't necessarily mean it has. The important thing is that they have a fairly accurate idea of the type of cancer and where it is so they can do the treatment that is most successful. 

    I also remember myself getting really anxious thinking about stages and grades during my diagnosis and surgery but to be honest looking back, the treatment is on the whole the same. Hysterectomy with some potential further treatment to mop up any stray cells. So I was stage 1b post surgery and it would have been the same treatment for me whether I was any stage my consultant said. 

    Do give the Support Line a call (or you can do online chat if you prefer) if you feel like talking it through would help.
