Hello Kayem66

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through surgery for endometrial adenocarcinoma. It's good to know that you're recovering well from the surgery. 

Have the hospital team given you any information about why you're still waiting for this particular set of test results? I can understand your frustration at not having all the results available to help make the decision about treatment particularly when you have concerns about possible side effects. 

Hopefully, some of our members who have been through this form of radiotherapy will post to share their experiences with you but in the meantime, if you'd like to talk things 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. 

I do hope that you get the answers, support and reassurance you need Kayem66 and whatever decision you make about this next stage of treatment, I wish you well with your recovery.

I had a hysterectomy 4 weeks ago and had an appointment this week at the cancer hospital. I had stage 1a grade 1 endometrial cancer and they have arranged for 5 weeks of radiotherapy. My planning appointment is today. I don’t have the Pole gene and even though it was caught early I am not looking forward to the treatment but if it helps to stop any reoccurrence I will grin and bear it. If they have recommended radiotherapy it might be that you don’t have the Pole gene, can you ask them to clarify that is the case?

Thank you
