  • Hi Mimizan

    Welcome to the Womb group.

    I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I remember what a scary time it was when I had mine. The waiting is hard. I think most people find the same. I know I just wanted to know and just get on with the treatment 

    It is normal to have a scan as the next step when a biopsy shows cancer. They are checking to see exactly where the cancer is to give it a provisional stage and grade. 

    Most ladies are offered a hysterectomy. Mine was in April 2022. It was keyhole, I had little pain and only stayed in hospital for one night. I recovered quickly. I did need some follow up treatment (not everyone does) but I am doing ok. 

    If there is anything that you want to ask, please do so, there are a lovely bunch of ladies on here who will want to offer you support. 

    If talking things through would help, then please do give the Support Line a call. The details are below. 

    I hope your MRI results come back quickly and you will then be able to discuss with the consultant the next steps. 

    Jane

  • Hi there, yes it goes through quick fire ! I’ve been through all the process and now waiting for hysterectomy week Saturday ! This group is amazing wished I’d got on earlier .. I’ve had weeks of waiting for the op since September 6th.. it’s been hard .. can’t believe the cancer diagnosis it’s surreal I’ve had to ask them several times if they are sure ? It’s just emotionally hit me a week ago.. I didn’t cry when they told me and uptill recent . I’ve been so hard on myself over the operation and how I can face it then feel it post op.. but hearing the women’s stories here has helped and I will read more .. I feel more hopeful
