Hi, thank you for allowing me to join the forum. I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer on 9 July. This was after some post menopausal spotting in April and an immediate referral for ultrasound and hysterscopy. Following that, i was found to have a polyp so an operation was booked to have it removed and a biopsy done. I was called in to be told that the polyp was pre cancerous and the biopsy showed both precancerous and some cancerous cells. I was told it was hormone related and put on Provera straight away. The nurse explained the next step was staging and said an MRI scan would be best. In our discussions she did mention that it was caught early, the lining was loooking nice and thin. The doctor said that an operation would be higher risk as I have mild heart failure, atrial fibrillation and am morbidly obese. However, they kept talking about provera and the possibility of a Mirena coil. I had my MRI on 17 July and I am now waiting the outcome. I am so scared and feel that I’ve just been left. They told me the news and then that’s been it (despite the nurse saying someone would ring to check that I was ok). I turned 58 yesterday and am so scared that I won’t get to see 59.
