Told yesterday that I have endometrial cancer and a total hysterectomy is planned. I am 74 and feel blasted away by this, the 'c' word just keeps popping into my brain and I can't stop it.  Consultant has said once this is done, he will have a better idea about any spread to other organs.  Thing is, I have been put off by my GP from being referred to a consultant because she said 'you'll be moving house soon, have the consultation when you've moved'.  Has this delay all year made it worse?  Apart from this, I have multiple health problems - diverticular disease (pain is awful), rectocele, cystocele, Type II diabetes, spinal stenosis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, underactive thyroid, high blood pressure - how on earth did it get so bad?  I eat really well and sensible - low carb mostly, lots of veg, all home cooking, no convenience foods, an occasional glass of wine, never smoked, been a swimmer all my life, done yoga, and ice skating.  Feel this is just not fair!!  My poor husband of 53 years doesn't know what to do to 'mend' me.  Anyone had treatment for this cancer?  Please.
