Hi dears,
My name is Lidia, and I was diagnosed with womb cancer the last Monday (08/12/2025).
I have done CT Scan and MRI for support the doctors decisions about my treatment pathway.
On the next Monday (15/12/25) Im going to a pre Assessment for total histerectomy and ovaries removing (I don't remember the name). I think the surgery will be after the Christmas.
I usually take care of my family,and now is very strange because they are trying to support me in everything.
I'm a very positive person despite of the situation. I have faith in God and I believe that everything is under His control. Obvisly I do my best. Actually my fear is related with my family and how much pressure they can support. I know probably they are more resilient than I can imagine, but it is my biggest concern.
I known womb cancer is a 'good' cancer, because usually is more curable than others. But, now I'm scared of being identified as kind of genetic disease and my sons can carry it with them.
I'm prepared to overcome this terrible time, and in the future share with you my testimony. For now I'm happy with all support on the NHS and here.
I have read a quote yesterday at the hospital. I'd like to share it with you
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate."
Carl Jung
Hi Lidia, I was also diagnosed on 5th December with womb cancer - stage 1a, grade 1, ECC. I had a pre operative assessment this morning and my hysterectomy has been booked for 5th January. I’m 36 and was told only 2% of women diagnosed are under 40! It’s been a lot to process but I feel much better knowing a plan is in place. I hope you can enjoy your Christmas (if you celebrate it!). Take care, El x
