Hi. I'm waiting for the same treatment. I too had cancer in lymph nodes. I start chemo on 22nd Feb. I'm really scared because I decided to look things up. I feel really strong after my op but I realise now that I can't control what's going onside my body.

I hope you're doing well.xxx Ruby

Hi Ruby - I just found your post. I’m in a similar position to you, waiting for chemo but I don’t have a date yet. I was diagnosed as Grade 1 Stage 3 but I don’t have any cancer in the lymph nodes, just on the surface of the womb. It’s a scary time isn’t it! Perhaps we can connect and talk about the treatment as it happens? I’ll probably be about a month behind you. I’m scheduled for 6 rounds of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. Is that similar to you? You’re getting closer to starting. I hope you are not getting too nervous. Wishing you luck with it. Take care JWO

That's sounds good. You don't have any lymph node involvement. I had cancer in 1 lymph node so chemo is the best for that. I start next Thursday. I just want to power on through this. I feel good, I'm recovering well after my hysterectomy. Our chemo meds are the same but obviously the dosage will be suited to our individual needs. So far I feel happy and positive.

Please keep in touch xx

Ruby

Good for you! You sound really positive. I’ll try and follow your example. I had my surgery on January 20. It was tougher than I expected but now, 4 weeks on, I can feel normality returning. I’m still getting tired and uncomfortable by evening and not confident to drive yet. Hoping that will come soon. How about you? Glad to hear you are feeling strong after surgery. How long has it been? 

I have to have both Covid jabs before I start chemo. First one yesterday and the next in 3 weeks. And I haven’t yet had an appointment with the oncologist. Step by step ...

I've been told it's 12 weeks until the 2nd jab. I've had my 1st one. My op was on 14th Jan. I've been fine after. I was doing walks out once I got home.

we have the same staging of Cancer. I will let you know how I get on. I just want to get things going now as it's a long hard slog then I have radiotherapy after. My chemo is delayed for a few days now as I'm waiting for a breast biopsy result. Totally unrelated to womb cancer. It's a seperate thing. So far I feel strong and happy and hope it continues but I don't know how chemo will make me feel .

You can private message if you like. Are you in London?

Sorry you have another separate area of concern. I admire your strength! I’m being fast tracked for the Covid jab which is nice. So I won’t  be far behind you with the chemo. Good luck when you start.

I’m in Norfolk. If you accept my friend request then we can use private messages - at least I think that’s how it works. I’m new here so I may have that all wrong. 

Take care, J

Hi

I hope you are doing well with your treatment. Can I ask what your symptoms were? I had triple negative breast cancer last year, which was treated successfully (fingers crossed) with chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. I'm 15 months since diagnosis and have been bleeding for 9 days straight, no period in 15 months! Is this how your womb cancer started? I have my gynecology appointment Wednesday, I'm terrified

Hi I've just seen your post and wondered how you got on at your gynaecology appointment? 
I had a hysterectomy last week for endometrial cancer.

Hope things are ok for you x

Hi

Thanks for getting in touch. The appointment last Wednesday was ok, they found what they think is a polyp in my uterus, I'm booked in to have it removed in a couple of weeks. They also discovered a small cyst on my ovary but said it doesn't look concerning.

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, hope you are recovering well and coping ok.

What were your symptoms? Did you have polyps?

Hi

i had heavy bleeding and clots that caused anemia, a USS showed a large mass, I had a hysteroscopy to biopsy the mass , they found a polyp too but I think that was ok. The histology took about 5 weeks to come back, and it will be similar for that from my hysterectomy, services are so backlogged at the moment that things are taking longer. Don't know if you had an USS at the appointment but they seem good at picking up possibilities, my mass was identified as not looking like a fibroid and possibly but not probably a cancer. Are you having a hysteroscopy to remove your polyp , if so is it 7nder GA ?

I'm recovering ok thanks, a bit tearful/ emotional and sore but I think that's to be expected .

Take care , good luck and let me know how you get on xx

Hi,

Thanks for your message. They did a vaginal scan and the dr was quite confident that it's a polyp causing the trouble. I'm waiting for my womb biopsy results, it's awful waiting isn't it...I have my appointment on the 16th for a hysteroscopy, I think they are doing it with local, is that what you had? I'm feeling ok about it now and thankfully the bleeding stopped after 15 days. 

It's nice to be in touch with someone who has gone through it, I'm glad you've had your op and are recovering ok. It must have been a huge shock, I can emphasize, it is very scary! The good news is womb cancer is very treatable when caught early. Once you get your histology report you will feel better and a clear plan will be made about any future treatment you may need. Take it easy and always happy to chat xx

Hi Bernie, I know this an old thread. I'm new here and going through similar to you. Can I ask how you got on please. I tried to inbox you privately but I needed to add you as a friend first which I have done. Hope everyone is doing okay
