Hello - endometrial cancer has returned

I have just been told that the endometrial cancer that I thought I had got rid of almost a year ago, had returned. I truly believed that having caught the cancer early and having had a full hysterectomy I had won the battle. Not so. 
Steeling myself for a course of radiotherapy and hoping that will do the trick.

  • Hi Saliba, I'm so sorry to hear about the cancer returning..can I ask where it has returned? I have been successfully treated for endometrial cancer 4 months ago and also had a full hysterectomy.. actually I had my first screening appt today.

    The gynecologist did point out the various signs to look out for in case of a reoccurrence of cancer.

    It does feel like you can never totally relax and instead of celebrating beating cancer you just continue to worry of it returning.

    So to cheer myself up I've just booked a holiday next year. Desperate to go back to South Africa so going to do it. Life is too short!!!
