Hello, just want to introduce myself. I had a biopsy about 7 weeks ago, then diagnosed with malignant and aggressive endometrial cancer. Had a CT scan and an MRI christmas week and gave an appointment tomorrow to discuss results. Anyone else with a similar diagnosis and what treatment did you have?
Hi Rowntrees
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you have had a diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
I hope that your appointment goes well today.
From your biopsy and the scans they should be able to give you a provisional stage and grade of cancer. For most ladies- where it is medically possible a hysterectomy is the first line treatment. For ladies who have a higher stage or grade then some follow up treatment may be recommended. This is normally based on the post op histology. Your appointment today is likely to give an idea of whether further treatment may be needed.
My hysterectomy was done via key hole and was straightforward. I was in hospital for one night, had little pain and recovered quickly. I also had some chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am now 3 years post treatment and doing ok.
Do let us know how you get on today and if you have any questions please do ask. We also have the Support Line available from 8am-8pm daily if you feel like talking things through would help.
Jane
