Newly diagnosed with endometrial cancer

Hi, I have been told I have endometrial cancer. I have had a biopsy and a D & C. I am waiting for the rsults of the D&C. Has anyone elase been diagnosed with this. They think it's stage 1, which is good. I couldn't think of any questions yesterday so iwas wondering what they do next? How is it treated? I am 44 and haven't gone through the menopause. Which apparently is unusual. Also, how have you dealt with the anxiety. My GP has given me some diazepam but this makes me feel off and can't drive so I try not to take it. I am a single mum so I am finding keeping my feelings hidden really hard, and my dad's seriously ill in hospital 65 miles away so I can't tell my mum as I don't want her to worry. Any advice welcome x

  • Hi, Layla, so sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  I was diagnosed last year with womb cancer, but I think where it is, how far it has invaded etc. Plus different doctors and different hospitals mean that no-one can tell you what is likely to be your treatment.

    Anxietyis common but being positive and knowing that treatments today sre very good will give you a boost and know that there is a lot of support out there.  It must be very hard for you with your dad so ill, perhaps you can speak to your mum when you have some more answers.  I am sure she would want to know , however hard it will be for her.  Do come back and let us know how you get on.  My best wishes to you.  By the way I didn't go through the menopause until I was 58!
