My Mum has recently been diagnosed with stage 3A womb cancer. It has been a huge shock and it’s a very worrying time. I am looking for general advice on the next steps (treatment and managing the symptoms). Could you please assist?
My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2021 and she went through treatment throughout 2022/ 2023. She's recently been given a leaflet about hysteroscopy and is currently awaiting test results. She's visibly distressed and it's really worrying me.

I'm sorry your mum is so worried and upset at the moment and is currently waiting for some test results to come through.
You mention that she was given a leaflet on having a hysteroscopy. I was unclear if your mum is waiting to have a hysteroscopy or had one recently.
Hormone treatment such as tamoxifen can change the lining in the womb and a hysteroscopy is usually carried out if someone is experiencing vaginal bleeding.
Hopefully her breast care team will be able to clarify what needs to happen next. If your mum has a breast care nurse involved in her care then perhaps they can provide her with further information. You often have to leave them a message and they will usually get back to her.
I hope your mum knows more about her situation soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
