I received a diagnosis for endometrial cancer on 9 July.  The nurse said they believe they’ve caught it early and it’s hormone based.  They started me on the hormone Provera straight away and organised a MRI scan to stage the cancer.  I had that on 17 July.  I am really worried as they’ve said I’m high risk for surgery due to having mild heart failure, atrial fibrillation and a high bmi.  They are saying if it’s early stage they can treat with hormone therapy hence the Provera and also suggested a Mirena coil.  I’m 58 and this all seemed from some light post menopausal bleeding in April.  Fortunately, my GP was on the ball and she referred me immediately.  Cancer was discovered after a polyp was removed and a biopsy on the lining was done.  The polyp was precancerous and the biopsy showed some cancerous and precancerous cells.

It's so important and reassuring that the medical professionals jump on these issues quickly. I think it some cases it can have a direct impact on the outcome. Good luck with your ongoing treatment and please keep in touch. X
