At 67 and not a days illness I’ve been diagnosed with high grade serous/ clear cell cancer of the uterus - only symptom was an annoying discharge that came and went very infrequently over6 months then came and stayed in December - long story short - referral to post menopausal clinic, ultra sound that wasn’t clear because I had a collection of fluid and pus in my womb called a pyometra and hysteroscopy and a call two weeks later from Dr confirmed cancer cells - had CT scan on Tuesday ( and that’s a tale in itself ) postie delivered letter at 3.40 for a 4.20 appointment! and just waiting for results and date for hysterectomy- I feel perfectly fit and well lost no weight, eating and sleeping well - how can I have cancer ? I’m a glass half full person - always have been and this won’t change, my lovely husband and family are with me - so we’ve got this ! Reading posts has he.PED me realise I’m not alone !
Hi I know well the absolute shock of a diagnosis of high grade serous cancer as I was and still am fit and well with no weight loss. I kept on expecting the hospital to contact me and say they had given me the wrong result. Anyway now fully recovered from hysterectomy and ready for my 2nd chemo session next Tuesday. Waiting for results and treatment is hard and scary as we all know. You WILL get through this and are certainly not alone especially with the support from this group. Sending you a hug 
Good to hear you are still feeling well Walkinglady - I know I WILL get through it - hugs gratefully received 
Hi Mrsceedee and a warm welcome to our spot in the Online Community. You story echoes mine, same age, not a days illness in my life, then an unusual discharge over a couple of days then my cancer journey began with a high grade serous cancer. But as you say you're not alone having read the posts from other ladies here. We're a lovely supportive group ready to offer a virtual hug or listen to a rant.
It'll be a good idea to download this booklet Understanding Womb (Endometrial) Cancer. I found it invaluable on my journey.
Click on the link I’ve created to find out more information covering diagnosis and treatments for Womb cancer.
You might also find this link to what to take in my overnight bag useful for when you have surgery.
