Help!! Mum diagnosed with cancer of the womb

Looking for advice just been told my mother has cancer in womb she has been I'll for months and had lots of rest the doctors said the growth in her womb was large and they need to do a full hysterectomy in the coming weeks my mother doesn't seem bothered at all she also has a very large galstone one causing her really bad pain but they won't operate on that till next year ?? Now they are saying she had an organ scan something does t look right with her kidneys but she thinks just this hysterectomy and it's all over but I'm worried there's more to it 

  • Welcome to the forum xboxraver although I'm sorry that your mum has been diagnosed with womb cancer.

    Although your mum may be coming across as not being bothered it may actually be her way of coping with her diagnosis at the moment. We have some information on our website about this type of cancer which I hope will prove useful but if you have any questions do give our cancer nurses a call. Their number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Also, if you have your mum's permission you will be able to talk to her medical team so if you're worried there's more to it, do make sure you discuss your concerns with them so they can explain everything and put your mind at ease slightly.

    Best wishes to you both,
