Hi everyone, 

I found out over a year ago that I have atypical hyperplasia and was told by my gyny that if I lost weigh and took progestrone tablet and have the coil fitted that it should help over come that condition but unfortunately I found out in December that I have stage 1b cancer of my womb and now my doctor is talking about giving me hysterectomy but I have no children and I'm 30 years old. I'm so confused and I just don't know what to do I'm so very upset

  • Hi Jadey89, 

    Welcome to the forum. I've just seen your post and wanted to pop on and let you know that we've another new member here [@Tansy21]‍ who is in a very similar situation. You can read her post here.

    Hi Jadey

    I’m going through similar. I’m 38, no children and had pcos prior to grade 1 stage 1b endometrial cancer.

    I have just had my total hysterectomy (and lymph node removal) and completed 3 rounds of internal radiotherapy. (Brachytherapy)

    It is an upsetting time for sure. I will try and help with any questions you have.  Children hasn’t been an issue for me though I have to admit, as I’m in a same sex marriage and my wife was always the one we planned to carry with due to my PCOS.

    If there’s anything I can help with give me a shout here.
