Womb cancer grade1

Hi I’m 68 and just been diagnosed with Grade1 womb cancer have had MRI and CT scan and have follow up appointment on Friday. Because I’ve had constipation issues most of my life and had a colonoscopy last year which was clear I keep scaring myself that the cancer has spread to my bowels.My womb cancer was only found because I had just two drops of blood May and June and now I’m wondering If I could have had cancer for years is this possible.Sorry for sounding neurotic but I’m so scared that there going to say it’s spread.

  • Hello a07

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with womb cancer. Understandably this will have been a worrying time for you but I hope that the team was able to give you some answers and reassurance when you saw them yesterday. 

    If there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Do let us know how you're getting on if you're able to. 

    Best wishes,
