Cancelled check up fears.

I had a hysterectomy last August and was diagnosed with early stage, contained, endometrial cancer. I had my first 3 monthly check up, but the next one was turned into a telephone appointment, where a nurse just told me the symptoms to look out for. I was then sent out another telephone appointment for the end of June. I am living in fear that it might return, and be missed if I'm not having regular examinations. Can I insist on going in, or should I accept it as being safe. 

  • I think many of members who are in this situation at the moment will understand your fears Carrots so I'm sure some of them will offer their support and advice to you soon but do be sure to bring this up at your appointment at the end of the month.

    Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to discuss this with them as well.

    Kind regards,
