Stage 1 womb cancer cells

So my results today were not what I was expecting,  had my mri which shows I have cancer cells in my womb stage 1 grade 2. Devasted got to have full hysterectomy, this I could cope with until they said they do further checks to make sure ain’t spread, so now have weeks of more stress waiting for op. If I get the all clear after hysterectomy will I be all clear and will I still have good life expectancy

  • Hi Mario11,

    I was diagnosed with grade 1 cancer in my womb in January.  Like you, it was a bombshell and totally unexpected.

    I had my hysterectomy on 10/2 and honestly it’s been so much easier than I thought.  They took both ovaries, tubes, womb and cervix, but the pain was really manageable and I felt a massive sense of relief once it was over.

    I had my follow up last week and I won’t need any chemo or radiotherapy, I was so relieved I can’t tell you.   I’ll be monitored regularly but the surgery has been deemed a curative measure.

    Please try not to worry, it’s hard not to think the worst, especially with Covid and having to isolate etc.  Fingers crossed you also have  a good outcome x
