how do I go about telling my children? Im 58 and been diagnosed and have my mri on Tuesday.
My oldest daughter knows cos she actually told me to go doctors immediately after I found i was bleeding.
Im telling my son tomorrow and my youngest on Monday because I know they would go nuts if they wasn't involved in the rest of my journey.
I wasn't going to say anything to them till after the scan but I know the results of mri will be bad because I now realise the other systems I was having months ago were of this type of cancer.
The fact is that they will be upset and feel like I chose to only tell my oldest daughter but in reality all the tests and biopsy has been done in a few weeks.
But how to i begin to tell them? I am the main person in our family as I was a single parent and we are very very close and this will destroy them.
So my first dilema of my journey is how to tell them 
Hi debzi,
I can see you are in a difficult position & of course this is never easy, going through all this turmoil & trying to find the words to tell loved ones. Maybe invite them round for dinner or sit having a cup of tea & start by saying you have had a few women's problems & have been referred to the hospital for further tests, but until you actually have the MRI results it's Impossible to say what treatment you need, I also had other symptoms but I never connected them with Cancer so please don't be too hard on yourself.
You said you had other tests & a biopsy, have they given you the results ?? Once you have MRI results they will then put a treatment plan in place for you & things will be a bit clearer. I really feel for you as there is no easy way of telling anyone & of course it's a massive shock just as it has been for you, but I do know once the shock wears off & things are explained more to you & your children things will be different & they will support you through everything & also keep in mind everybody here has been exactly where you are now & can help & advise in so many ways.
Please let us know how things are going & please keep talking & asking questions, it really does help.
Sending Love & Hugs 
Thankyou very much for kindness and advice, my biopsy results came in on Thursday and they asked me to go in for results which started my worry as i was ok to receive the results over the phone.
They didn't really say much at the app other that they want me to have the mri b4 going any further with what the next plan of action is and they only really said that I did have endometrial cancer and the mri will clarify a lot more for them to proceed with.
So does the biopsy give them the thickness of the lining or does it just give a positive cancer result?
Of course i have more questions now that i have started processing it all but I am stressing because everything seems to be rushed thru or am I over thinking?
I will find out everything on thursdsy as that's when the consultants all get together to look at mri and get a plan going but I do have the nurse,s no. who is assigned to my case for any questions or concerns.
But sometimes ignorance is a bit of mental peace for a little longer.
Thankyou again 
Hi debzi,
Okay so they have confirmed it's Endometrial Cancer which is the result of the Biopsy, the MRI will tell them the size and/or thickness/spread. I was told this also gives them measurements that are used for Surgery as most people will have this operation once diagnosed.
No they are not rushing it thru this by the sounds of things is pretty normal as this happened to me & my surgery was done within 2 weeks after my Scan & results, yes we all overthink at this time & it is very stressful but the Oncologists & the rest of the team are brilliant at what they do & will create a treatment plan that is best for your needs & to be stressed & worried is perfectly normal believe me, I & everyone else on here have been through all of this & it is a very difficult time.
The only thing I can say for the moment is try & take one day at a time, there is so much going on & mentally & emotionally it is draining. Don't be too hard on yourself, this is not your fault, try & have a little down time & all of this is going to require baby steps there is a lot to deal with but you WILL get there as we have & we are here every step of the way. So please keep talking & asking questions & we will do our best to help you in any way we can & let us know how you get on with your appointment on Thursday.
Sending Love & Hugs
