I was given the diagnoses of Grade 3 Endometrial Cancer on the 28th December which was a shock.
I was referred for an ultrasound which picked up a 1.5 cm polyp.
The biopsy couldn’t be done as I found it too painful/uncomfortable and so a general anaesthetic was organised to remove it on 8th Dec. At this point my gynae said it didn’t look worrying but he’ll send it off to be tested anyway.
28th December received a phone call to attend an urgent appointment same day, plus another one this coming week for an MRI. I was told it was a grade 3 cancer. I don’t know what type. The MRI is to see if it’s spread.
My Gynae told me I’ll need hysterectomy.
I’m very scared by all this especially since I’ve ignored bladder symptoms of occasional bleeding in urine and problems with flow of urine.
To make matters more complicated I was put on a vpap ventilator at night for my lungs in the Summer, my SPO2 levels are extremely low night and day.
I get pain in my lungs and the area where my liver is.
I’m very very scared.
I’m on my own with all of this. No support near.
