Hi Tacky38
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
Here is a link to some info that may be helpful.
Womb cancer booklet | Macmillan Cancer Support
With the medical terminology it may be an idea to give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses. I see you have posted in the Ask a Nurse section and they would normally respond in 3 working days.
I also had a high grade (grade 3) cancer and this means that the cancer cells look very different to normal cells and that in some women the cancer can behave more aggressively and be more likely to spread. So the treatment is tailored to this.
The first part is saying that they believe the cancer is in the lower part of the womb/cervical canal and it is still not 100% clear of the details. The further scans and discussion were to try to work out whereabouts the cancer was.
I hope that your surgery went well on Monday and that you are recovering ok.
A full hysterectomy with tubes, cervix and ovaries would be the normal expected treatment. Sometimes they also look at the nearby lymph nodes to check for any spread to them. This would be to work out whether any further treatment would be advisable. It seems to be done where there is a higher grade cancer.
The post op histology will show the finer details of any cancer in anything that has been removed.
Hope this helps a bit. Do give the Support Line a call if you feel like talking it through would help.
I wish you well with your recovery and in the meantime we are here if you need us.
Jane
