Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Endometrial cancer and have an appt next week to finalise my treatment plan which is likely to be a hysterectomy. How long did other people have to wait for surgery once the plan was finalised?
I was diagnosed on 28 September 2021 and originally the date of hysterectomy was 22 Nov but there was a cancellation of another operation on 28 Oct, so I was given that slot n had the hysterectomy on 28 Oct.
You will get more information about your treatment plan when you see your oncologist. Better write down any questions you have in mind. When you see your doctor try to ask all the questions when he/she is with you.
Most people had stage 1 EC and the only treatment needed was hysterectomy. My hysterectomy went well and I recovered quickly. As I had stage 2 grade 2 EC, I had 25 sessions of RT. It also went well. Luckily, there were no delays although I had the treatments in January when Covid surged. All the NHS staff were wonderful. I felt relaxed once I got into the hospital. They chatted with me n explained all procedures clearly. I felt I was always being well looked after.
