Spoken to my Macmillan nurse and been told from the biopsy its a grade 3 but still waiting for CT scan results to tell me what stage. I’m feeling even more anxious now as grade 3 doesn’t sound good
Hi Rach_E. I was initially told after biopsy and CT scan I was stage 1a/ grade 1. After hysterectomy was regraded to stage 1b (Penetrated more than 50% into the uterus wall) and stage 3 serous which does mean aggressive - angry looking as my CNS described it. I was in bits!
However I had just 3 sessions of Brachytherapy a few days apart 6 weeks after the hysterectomy. My op was this time last year - I've had 3 x 3 monthly check-up's and all's good so don't start expecting the worst scenario!
Big hugs, Barb x

Thank you for replying, I’m glad everything is going well for you. My anxiety is doing over time and I feel like there’s no hope. My nurse has told me is doesn’t mean it’s bad but I don’t know how to stop my thoughts going at a thousand miles an hour. She still needs to see the scan results so don’t know the stage. I just feel I’m past helping. Feel so low and alone even though everyone is supporting me. Xx
Hi again @Rach_E. Believe me we've all felt exactly the same but I'm living proof there's hope!! You are NOT past helping, nor are you alone. We're all in this together and together we'll beat this!
I can pretty well promise you this time next year you'll be thinking what was all the fuss about! I've been there, done that and got the T shirt!
Hugs, Barb xx

Thank you for the words of encouragement, I feel so stupid I’m sat here crying my eyes out assuming the worst when I don’t know the full details. I have a partner and a step son and my mum dad and all my family and all I can’t think is I don’t want to leave them. We are meant to be getting married on bonfire night and I’m not excited about it and I just think will I even be here, is this my last Christmas. I feel so stupid x
