Hi, i had a clear d&c and hysterascope a couple of months ago, but due to fibroids and bleeding my consultant performed a total hysterectomy a few weeks later. As there was no suggestion of cancer at the time he did not remove lymph nodes. Im now 5 weeks over the surgery and last week i went back to see him to be told the pathology report showed endometrial cancer. I was told im very lucky in that its at stage 1A and its an endometrioid carcinoma which is slow growing, but should i be concerned that lymph nodes havent been tested? Can they be sure theres no spread without checking lymph glands?  Im just confused in that if its so early and so slow growing why am i booked in for scans? Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? Many thanks for reading, my best wishes to you.
