Womb cancer

Hi everyone, 

I have been diagnosed with stage1b womb cancer. This has all happened so quick. I'm due to have a hysterectomy in two weeks, in which they are taking my ovaries, Fallopian tubes and my Lymph nodes. 
I had an mri that showed the cancer had gone through my womb walls ar 70%.  This seems to be rather a lot the 70% seeing as this only started in November just gone. I was just wondering is that amount "normal " after such a short space of time. 
thanks very much.

    Hello Juliemarie and welcome to Cancer Chat! 

    I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with womb cancer and I just wanted to send you some positive thoughts ahead of your hysterectomy. I hope that everything goes well for you and that you make a  super quick recovery. We have information on our website on womb cancer treatment which you can find here and which I hope will be useful to you. 

    Your consultant will be able to tell you more about  whether the fact that the cancer has gone through the womb walls at 70% is a normal occurrence so don't hesitate to ask all these difficult questions when you next have an appointment with your specialist and I am sure they will be happy to explain things fully to you. 

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to give them a call and talk things through with them at any point. 

    I hope everything goes well for you and that you recover quickly. Do come back if you get a moment and let us know how the treatment has gone for you. We'll be keeping everything crossed for you that the surgery goes smoothly and you make a swift recovery!

    Best wishes,

    Hi Juliemarie,

     

    How are you getting on with your treatment?

    I had my hysterectomy 1 month ago. It is stage 2 grade 2 endometrial cancer. I am going to have radiotherapy after the new year. I am very worried that the doctor did not check my lymph nodes and i did not have an MRI. How do I know the nodes are OK?  What if it is actually Stage 3C?

    How was your diagnosis made in your case?

    Best wishes
