Hello Sjgw
I am sorry to see that you have been diagnosed with a grade 2 endometrial cancer. I understand how scary it can be to hear the words. It is normal to have a scan after a diagnosis and it helps the consultants see exactly where the cancer is and helps them make the treatment decisions.
Hopefully it will be only a few days to wait until you get to see your surgeon. In my case things moved quite quickly once the diagnosis and all the tests were done. I saw my surgeon for the first time on a Friday lunchtime, had all my pre op tests done in the afternoon and had my hysterectomy done on the Monday am. By Tuesday lunchtime I was back home to recover.
There are a lot of lovely ladies on this forum who will understand how you are feeling as we have all been there ourselves. If there is anything you want to ask, please do so.
As I know it can be tempting to google to get information I will pop a link to some Macmillan info that I found helpful when I was at the stage you are.

I hope that your MRI goes well tomorrow. Please let us know how you get on.

I had allergic reaction to the CT contrast on my first scan- the second scan was done without contrast and there didn't seem to be a problem with that. The consultant said the contrast can just make things a bit clearer so without it they look a little more.
