I was diagnosed with uterine cancer October 2022 and had a radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. I had 2 tumours stage 1a & 1b but was told it was a curative op with a low chance of reoccurrence. About 6 weeks ago I had some vaginal bleeding which has been intermittent, I have had pain that is becoming more persistent just inside my left hip.
I contacted my oncology team and had a MRI scan last Wednesday, on Monday they called to say that the results had come back and I was to come to the hospital today. So as you can guess, I'm expecting the worst news today. I've been silently stalking this group for people's accounts of symptoms and treatment journeys. Today I'm joining in, so worst case or not, my story will be here for the women who are yet to come, and are searching for information will see.
Update, I have a 3cm tumour at the top of my vault, had some biopsies yesterday but bled profusely and Dr not sure if I will need biopsies under general. Also referred for PET-CT to see if it's spread outside my pelvis and review results in 2 weeks.

Hi Lee75
I am sorry to hear that you have had a recurrence in your vaginal vault. I hope that you do not have to wait too long for you scan and that the results show it is a localized recurrence. Hope that you will get a treatment plan soon.
In the meantime if there is anything you need, you know where we are
