Symptoms

We all have different symptoms and you won't know until the tests results are back. Speaking for my own experience however, I didn't have any pain or pressure, just the post menopausal bleeding. Pain is often associated with things like fibroids etc...but they will know when the MRI results are in. No point guessing at this stage but try not to worry about what you don't know yet. Dr Google is a mixed blessing and doesn't always help. You will for sure soon and fingers crossed all will be well. This cancer is very treatable.

Hi I was diagnosed with Low grade endometrial cancer on 3rd April this year.

I'm having a radical key hole hysterectomy next Thursday.

I have PCOS which gives similar symptoms to my cancer.

I have the same symptoms as you but I also have watery discharge, like I have wet myself. I have to use tens pads and a thicker one at night.

Apparently this is also a symptom.

Yes Dr Google is not your friend.

It's natural to be nervous. It's the fear of the unknown.

Once you get your results, you will have so much support from all the agencies involved.

You'll be introduced to your Oncologist when you get your results.

You'll be able to get in touch with your Oncologist at any time.

Also these forums are great 

Hope it goes well for you tomorrow.

I was predicted grade 1 stage 1, with absolutely no symptoms whatsoever apart from the tissue being very slightly tinged with very very pale pink. After my hysterectomy histology, the stage changed from a 1 to a 2. Many of us have no symptoms at all or hardly any so I wouldn’t read too much into symptoms if I were you. Definitely don’t Google.

Hi Nettie6970

We are all different aren't we

I have awful anxiety which can trigger the flight or fight response in my bowels and of course this is possibly the cause of my bladder issue

But this new diagnosis has my head spinning in all directions 

Good luck with your op next Thursday

Hi MarmiteFan59

My symptoms of pain seem have escalated since all the tests and appointments/diagnosis 

However I had 5 weeks pain free after my hysteroscopy under GA as the surgeon told me my womb looked normal apart from multiple fibroids

Anxiety gone until I got the call back appointment to gynae oncology

It does sound like it could then be related to anxiety! Hopefully you will be able to pick up some coping mechanisms for the inevitable anxiety which may then alleviate things. 

Sympathies Kazaroo 60.

My symptom was slight PMB. I felt fine.Asked for my hysteroscopy to be done by GA. Was told"No" so went private. ( anxiety growing) Tummy pains low down. Biopsy on 2 large polyps: grade 3 Endometrial Cancer. Appetite disappears. Gut goes into overdrive.

Anxiety about anxiety really doesn't help does it?

I can offer my sympathy and support but I haven't yet found a way to calm my tummy  but please know you ate not the only one.

Good wishes for your surgery next week. You will be home before you know it! Sending hugs.

UPDATE:
MRI and chest xray all fine, no signs of spread

Now, on the call for results I was told they are not 100% sure what we are dealing with - cancer or pre cancer my biopsy was inclusive?? but either way total hysteretomy recommended by MDT team and wait for histology to confirm after op. Nurse double checked my results back to first appointment as I was so confused by this and confirmed I am a grey area, cells low grade but not sure what - nice 

But looked good to be early stage if it is a cancer and if it isn't the op takes away this fear for the future, its been a horrible time as you can all a-test to but feel much calmer now

Op booked for Tuesday May 20th Robotic assisted hysterectomy with pre op this coming Monday - histology is currently taking up to 6 weeks where I am in Norfolk so will be a while before I know for sure

Will update on my journey as it unfolds

Meantime have a good weekend all

Karen

Good to hear it hasn’t spread and you have op booked. Wishing you all the best
