Hello
It’s taken a year since my GP visit and “2 Week Wait” appointment to get a diagnosis - Two Ulta Sound Scans, two hysteroscopies (one so traumatic that I had nightmares for eight months afterwards), and a CT scan revealed grade 3 serous endometrial carcinoma. At MDT review it was then thought that the origin may be ovarian, and it has spread to the surface of my bowel. My diagnostic journey has been poor at best, incompetent at worst. I still don’t know my treatment plan or stage, but believe it could be chemotherapy followed by radical hysterectomy, omentum removal and “bowel peeling”. I’m feeling angry, apprehensive and annoyed and currently cannot see beyond a hideous year of feeling ill. My symptoms were a tiny amount of spotting - no other symptoms, pain or tiredness. I’m 68 this month and generally in good health otherwise. I have an appointment with a consultant today so hopefully will have clarity at least. Onwards and upwards and at least it’s a sunny day! Thanks for reading my introductory rant :-) I wish everyone a positive day xx
