Hello, everyone. 

I’m currently 2 weeks post OP (midline laparotomy) and currently recovering. I’m diagnosed with high grade EC but staging still not known. I had ovarian mets from my EC so I’m guessing I would at least be Stage 3. 

Feeling quite low right now and scared, even though I know I should be focusing on getting better so I could start chemo/radio as healthy as possible. 

I guess I want to reach out to anyone here who has similar diagnosis and not feel alone. 

  • Hi Ange19! 

    Thank you for sharing your story with me. It sounds like you didn’t have much side effects from chemo/radio which is what I’m hoping for myself! I have heard of the cold cap but I am not too bothered with my hair falling out. I guess I’ll see if they offer it in my treatment centre.

    Glad to hear that your return to work has been a success. Honestly, it is the one thing I am looking forward to after treatments. It’s helping me try to stay positive about chemo/radio. I feel like if I don’t start working again, I would be depressed and feel a whole lot of things that are not so happy thoughts I suppose.
