Good morning. I am new to the group but have been reading all of your very helpful posts since I was diagnosed on 31/3. I am 49 and have been diagnosed with womb cancer which they have told me they believe is early stages, grade 1a or b.
I have my MRI today and I just wondered if anyone could tell me roughly how long before you get the results re stage etc.
thank you so much
Hi Annie72 and welcome to our group in the Online Community. We've a lovely group of ladies who've all been where you find yourself now and have a wealth of knowledge and support to share.
The MRI results seem to take 10 days to 2 weeks to come through, there may then be a CT scan ordered. The MDT (Multi Discipline Team consist of surgeons, anaesthetists, oncologists, cns and theatre staff) will then meet, usually on a weekly basis, to discuss results and devise a plan of action.
Until the organ and tissue histology results are to hand after a hysterectomy your stage and grade can't be confirmed. This also takes into account LVSI (Lymph Vascular space invasion) and Lymph node scores. After that you plane of adjuvant treatment will be planned
