Just diagnosed Stage 1a uterine cancer

I was diagnosed on Thursday. The consultant is happy that surgery (hysterectomy) will take care of it and the operation will take place within a couple of weeks.

So, I've been pretty upbeat about the whole situation. I'm happy that the symptoms I was/am having will stop soon BUT I woke up this morning feeling completely overwhelmed - I would like to know if this is normal? I know in comparison to other cancers this is just about as good as you could wish for.

Thanks

    Hi taty 

    Totally normal. I'm now 3 months post hysterectomy and 1b uterine cancer. But everything happened so quickly after diagnosis that I didn't have a lot of time to really think about it. I also had keyhole surgery which made recovery a lot quicker.

    I do consider myself so lucky and really count my blessings after reading other people's stories on this forum.

    Just plan for after the operation and to take care of yourself as you will still need to be careful with what you can do...

    Please keep in touch and good luck xx

    Hi JEK12, thank you so much for your reply. They are planning keyhole surgery for me as well so we have a lot in common. Having read what you typed, I do think the fact that I'm not having time to process what's happening is a big deal for me so thank you again.

    Thank you (again!) xx
