Hello everyone I'm a healthy 76 year old lady or was,  till I had post menopausal bleeding went immediately to my GP had all the relevant tests biopsies and MRI scan and was told I had stage 1b endometrial cancer hysterectomy arranged then during keyhole surgery which was sadly abandoned due to a deseased omentum biopsies was sent off during my procedure frozen test done showed cancer on the omentum hysterectomy cancelled now I have been told I have stage 4 endometrial cancer, and it was never stage 1b :-(  I had one of the team phone me a few days ago, she was  not very sympathetic  said chemo is all I can be offered,  will be arranged at my local hospital, it MAY help,  which I'm waiting to hear from the clinical  oncology team,  telephone appointment arranged for the 28th February 22. I asked her why could the hysterectomy not go ahead even if cancer was on the omentum she said it was not feasible, as it's inoperable. I have seen and read if  the omentum was removed during  the hysterectomy and then chemo carried out as adjuvant therapy. Was a better prognoses.   I have also read that sadly the prognoses is not good with this stage cancer if surgery is not done. Has anyone been diagnosed stage 4 cancer and after just chemo survived this. Or do I need to get a second opinion my kind understanding GP said he would arrange it but I don't want to waste time, maybe another few months.  I have a huge family I haven't shared the negative parts as yet with them looking for something positive to tell them first. Thank you
