Hello,
I have recently been diagnosed with womb cancer on 13th August.
I was referred on the 2 week cancer pathway on 1st July.
Initially, after ultrasound I was told I had ovarian cysts that were benign and thickened womb.
I had the polyp removed & womb cleaned by hyoscopy & was told I would have surgery in 2 weeks to remove cysts & ovaries.
Several weeks later I was called for a ct scan.
Leading to my diagnosis on 13th August. I am being transferred to another hospital for a hysterectomy & lymph node removal.
Now, I am waiting. I have heard nothing since.
As it is Grade 3 , stage 1 at the moment, I am so worried it will get worse while I wait
Hi there. I know how you feel. I was also Grade 3, stage 1. After my hysteroscopy and diagnosis I had to wait nearly 2 months for a hysterectomy. I was so worried waiting that I went to have a private consultation with a specialist (even though I could never have afforded a private operation). He said waiting a few weeks would make no difference, even with the more 'aggressive' grade. I hope it all goes well for you.
Hello Sorrell,
Thank you so much for the reassurance, that really helps.
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You could try calling your gynaecologist's secretary to see what's happening with regard to the surgery.
Best wishes.

Thank you I will do that. I was told I would hear something very soon, so I'm going to try to wait until the end of the week and try to ring all of the numbers I have .
Thank you
Just a thought - if you leave it till Friday, you may well not get a reply then till next week as whoever you call may then need to call you back. I’d suggest phoning tomorrow or Thursday and then you might possibly hear on Friday.
Thank you, yes that sounds like a good idea.
