Hello!
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last October (stage 1a g1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma). Following my hysterectomy, I was told that they had also found cervical cancer (1b1 squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix).
As they hadn't expected the cervical cancer, they didn't remove all of the structures that they would have done.
I've had 5 weeks of radiotherapy, once a day mon to fri.
Has anyone had the same diagnosis?
Thanks in advance,
VioletBlue
Hi and a warm welcome to our corner of the Online Community. Normally stage 1 grade 1 Endometrial Cancer doesn't require more treatment so your 5 weeks of radiotherapy would be for the unexpected Cervical cancer diagnosis I assume.
Whilst you're waiting to see if any ladies here reply concerning the same diagnosis, it might be a good idea to also join the Cervical cancer group and post the same question.
When you have a minute, it would be helpful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. (It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself.) To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
