  • Hello Roxy-12

    I'm sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with endometrial cancer. It's understandable that this is a worrying time and that you may be feeling overwhelmed by things.

    I know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be really difficult, and it's natural that our minds look to worst-case scenarios. I wonder if you might find it helpfu lto talk things through with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can as well as help you think about any questions you might want to ask at your next appointment. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the CT results and the specialists will be able to talk with you about the next steps in treatment and offer some reassurance. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on Roxy-12. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
