Recent diagnosis of High Grade Serous Uterine Carcinoma

Hi, I underwent a total Hysterectomy on 29th January after being very quickly diagnosed with cancer of the womb. On Friday received the diagnosis above and I am meeting with the Oncologist this Friday to discuss a programme of Chemo and Radiotherapy. n a bit of a shock about it all to be honest as its all happened so quickly. Just wondered if there's anyone out there who has been diagnosed with this rare cancer too and can offer some advice re forthcoming chemo journey?

  • Hello PammyD and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I can understand that the speed of things might make it harder to process, but your oncologist will be able to address your concerns and questions at the appointment on Friday. It's important that you leave the appointment feeling informed and prepared so I hope it goes ok. We have information on types and grades of womb cancer, including uterine sarcoma, and advice around treatment for cancer. If you'd like to speak to our cancer nurse team, you can call the free helpline 0808 800 4040. Lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    I hope this helps,
