Hi, new here - hello 
I am 38 years old, and I had a hysterectomy 4 weeks ago due to endometrial hyperplasia and just had my pathology results yesterday - stage 1 cancer was found. I also had stage 4 endometriosis, and they found some cancerous cells outside the womb within the endometriosis.
I am going for a CT scan at some point next week to find out if it’s an isolated event, but I’m going to need surgery to remove the endometriosis and my ovaries - so surgical menopause is imminent 
It feels very scary, I hate having the “c word” it just feels never ending. All I can do is take things step by step, and focus on the things I can control whilst everything is spiralling and that gave me so comfort. I feel totally OK and had been recovering well from the surgery, and was feeling positive and optimistic towards the future. It all feels bitterly unfair, but I have to focus on the fact it’s been caught early. ️
Hi Lulubel38
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear of your hysterectomy and that cancer was found. It must have been a worry after it being thought to be hyperplasia. I can understand it feels pretty scary at the moment.
The CT scan sounds normal as because some cancerous cells were found outside of the womb they would need to confirm exactly where the cancer was in the body to make sure it has all been removed. Where ladies already have a diagnosis before surgery the CT is normally done first for staging.
Taking things step by step is a good plan and things can certainly feel out of control. It sounds like you are recovering well from your surgery. I hope that the CT shows no further spread of any cancer and that the surgery to remove your ovaries and any endometriosis can be done quickly.
Please do give the Support Line a call if you feel like talking things through would help.
