Hi got news yesterday that I have womb cancer.  Now awaiting MRI.

  • Hi Chrissy72

    I guess we'll be holding each others hand. I'm 67, biopsy was 17th July and confirmed. I'm having a TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy) next Thursday. I'm veering between being very calm and not - just want to get it all over with.

    I only joined this site yesterday so still feeling my way around - take care.xx

  • Hi Mrs BJH got my news yesterday......very scary!  Wish you all the luck in the world Thumbsup

  • Hi 

    I have just replied to your more recent MRI question and then noticed this one.  Just wanted to add that at age 76  i was a bit older than you when I was diagnosed.  It was years since I had been anywhere near a hospital and I was very apprehensive  but I sailed through the op with no problems and recovered really quickly.  I hope you do the same!

  • Thank you

      My biggest worry is that I have had it a long while.  Kept getting uti's and thought bleeding was from there.  What with Covid as well only spoke to medics over the phone.
