Uterine cancer pain

Hello, I was diagnosed with Uterine cancer in August .

I have Heart Failure and have alot of fluid retention,  I take Furosemide 80 or 120mg 

My question is my stomach is very swollen like the rest of me, I get horrible pain after I eat anything and after I empty my bladder.. is this something I should see my GP about again they are aware said I had a hernia but that was about it regarding ir.

Thank you in advance for any information  

  • Hi Brooksie and thank you for your post.

     I'm sorry to read about your situation and your diagnosis of uterine cancer.  It sounds like you are going through a lot.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell you if anything is the matter. We would always encourage you to visit your GP if you have any new or any existing symptoms become worse or discuss them with someone in your hospital team.

    A doctor can make a medical assessment and decide whether you need to go for tests.

    If you have started any treatment for uterine cancer, these symptoms could be a side effect, so do talk to your hospital specialist or specialist nurse (CNS).

    I hope this helps and you know more about your situation soon.

    Please feel free to get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Tina
