Hi everyone,
New to the group, hope you’re all well...
my Mum was diagnosed with womb cancer early stage in 2019, she had a full hysterectomy and didn’t need further treatment. She was declared cancer free Oct 2019 and was told she didn’t need follow up appointments as she was in low risk of reoccurrence
she has been getting vaginal bleeding now for a few weeks
had a vaginal vault colposcopy on Friday and the consultant is suspecting a reoccurrence. He saw where the blood was coming from and He has sent a biopsy to the lab.
I am terrified, i dont know what to think, its like iv already lost her. I have been glued to google and cannot stop reading negative information. Reoccurrence just sounds like its the end.
Hello and welcome to our little corner of the Online Community. I'm sorry to hear about the possibility of your Mum's recurrence of a cancer.
I would say please don't consult Dr Google, you'll wrap yourself up in knots. Wait until histology is back. Try not to think the worst, easy to say, hard not to do.
Here on the womb forum you'll find a lovely group of supportive ladies who have all been exactly where you and your Mum are now. A possibility of cancer diagnosis brings all sorts of stress and fears and if anyone can hold your hand and reassure you we will. We're all at the start, in the middle or the end of what can only be described as a roller-coaster ride. The ride no-one wants to get on.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about your Mum's journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. You can amend or update it at any time. If you’re not sure what to write, just click on my username.
If you want to ask any of us any questions please come back and do so. There's always someone around and we can offer a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold or listen to a rant, we’re here for you.
It might also be a good idea to download this booklet Understanding Womb (Endometrial) Cancer I found it invaluable in my journey.
It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear. It's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look to see what is available by Clicking here .

Sending you welcoming hugs, B xx
