Following my hysterectomy on 5th January I was called yesterday and asked if I wanted to come in today as they had cancellations or I could keep my original appt on 13th. I panicked for a second! Anyway, went today and as soon as I walked in the surgeon said “don’t worry! I had movement and wanted to see you face to face as I’m thrilled to tell you the results are back and are exactly as we predicted, stage 1a/grade 1!” The cancer was completely confined to my uterus and is GONE! No further treatment required and I can finally say with confidence that I AM CANCER FREE! I feel so relieved and happy I can now take my life off pause!
I wanted to share this news to spread positivity as I know a few ladies who are in the same position currently waiting for histology results or have a recent diagnosis. I feel so grateful for the NHS experience and care I’ve received and thank everyone here for their advice and kind words the last couple months. El x
That's great news- really pleased for you

That is wonderful news. I have just been called in next week for my results of initial biopsy during hysteroscopy and MRI after finding an area of concern. Reading your post gives me hope. Wishing you well as you continue to recover from your hysterectomy and adjust to your diagnosis. Take care. xx
