Hello Today I found out I have womb Cancer

Hello, and welcome to the forum (although sorry you have to be here). 

Have you had a CT scan before ?  As they'll be scanning your lower half, I think your head will be well outside the machine so it shouldn;t be that claustrophobic. 

Hi Linda, 

Sorry to hear your news.  Re the CT scan, I found this a breeze compared to having a hysteroscopy…mine was combined with PET scan  I didn’t find it that enclosed, and at any point in time could look out at the rest of the room.  

Sorry to hear your news. I was diagnosed in July this year and am having hormone treatment at the moment. The worst part is the waiting for results etc....but try to keep busy and it will soon pass. I take each day at a time, baby steps and try not to think about it all the time. It's hard but does get easier! Sending good wishes to you.

I coped with hysteroscopy ..gas and air forgot how good it was .. PET scan not had one ..yet!!

Hi Linda, just wanted to reassure you that the CT scanner is like a giant polo with a lot of space between you and it - the MRI is the one that is more tube like, and more likely to lend itself to claustrophobia (which I combatted btw by wearing an eye mask).if your pelvic area Is being CT scanned both your head and legs will be out as the machine is not very long. If that makes sense! 

Yes not knowing is the worst I need to plan.

Hi, sorry to hear your diagnosis , I am probably next to hear this news. I am 60 and only had a slight pink discharge at xmas, however i have been having on and off urine infections and i know wonder if this is where it all started, hope not!!

i am awaiting to get an appointment for General biopsy as my ultrasound showed my womb  lining as 14mm which has scared me. I have slight cramping and feeling slightly nauseas , maybe nerves as i only heard my ultrasound results 2 days ago.

I so hope i dont have long to wait for my biopsy under general,

Thanks for reading and sending good wishes to us all x

Hi Linda sorry to hear your news, hope everything goes well for you diagnosed on Tuesday stage 2 uterus cancer, having xray, mri, pre op next week as biopsy confirmed it over Christmas period. Same s yourself am scared and now am hurting in other places . I really hope you are sorted and get well soon, take care fight each day as it comes.️

Hi Linda, I am a few weeks ahead of you but just wanted to say it does get easier. I think it is shock at first but then this moved to processing the diagnosis and then more acceptance for me . I had a few panic attacks in the middle of the night at first but asked for diazapan for a few days to help with the hospital appointment . After that all calm. Wishing you all the best. I am two weeks post hysterectomy and getting nervous for biopsy results in next week or two . 

Sending best wishes . 

Its definitely scary I think once I know more facts and have treatment plans then I will be ok its the fear of the unknown..if that makes sense..oh and I have tummy gripes since they told me ..let me know how you go on xx
