Well, thought i would drop in an update. I have now had Grade 1 Stage 1a endometrial cancer confirmed.  So i am going to be scheduled for a full hysterectomy (ovaries + cervix as well).The consultant is 95% confident that once this is done I won't need any further treatments unless they find something on the post surgery biopsy. 

As i had a mini stroke a few years ago and I am a plus size lady, I have got to have an appointment with the anaesthetist team and I will probably have to inject anti clotting drugs for a few weeks before the op. This app is next Monday. I'm hoping the op will follow soon after. They have said there is a chance that I may end up having an open surgery not keyhole as I have a midline scar from a previous surgery and they don't know how the scar tissue will be.

Oddly I have just received another appt for another US at the start of March which I am hoping is a post -op check as I can't think why they would want another US before the op.......

Just hoping this doesn't delay things as I want it sorting out now.
