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

  • Hello 

    I have been diagnosed with the same than you and really overwhelmed as well 

    waiting for hysterectomy as well 

    Had tiny lung nodule removed in May after hysteroscopy for thick endometrium in April , lung resulted in cancer but all clear and cured ( never smoked) , forgot about me until August when they say hysteroscopy results were not normal as they told me first in April so repeated hysteroscopy 2 weeks ago and confirmed cancer diagnosis 

    Serious investigation going on due to 4 months delay 

    All incidental findings and no symptoms 

    I know in a way I’m lucky due to being so early stages but really overwhelmed by it all , they’re not linked

    Just want a happy ending and my life back 

    Take care everybody, life is precious x

  • It's so important with all cancers that if found early the prognosis is good..  After the hysterectomy then you can start living your life again.. I certainly have. Good luck with the op and hang on in there!!  xx
