Early endometrial cancer

[mummytrex]

Informed this morning that the histopathology undertaken following my hysterectomy (due to endo hyperplasia with atypia) confirmed a "small" cancerous area.

Appreciate I need medical guidance which I will be getting, but does anyone have experience in the meantime? Thanks

No personal experience but I suspect given the whole lot has been taken out no further action is required in your case?

I think it depends where the cancerous area is. If there were good margins round it from what was taken out then perhaps no further action. I had adjuvant radiotherapy after my hysterectomy as the cancer had travelled down towards the cervix.

@P00hsticks thanks. I have very limited information at the moment - consultant called me post MDT today to notify me of the result but said I needed to speak to oncology who would be contacting me very shortly for further details and next steps.

The reference to oncology would suggest to me that they might possibly want to recommend a course of adjuvant radiotherapy (been there, got the T-shirt!) or perhaps some other form of treatment - I'm currently having hormone therapy, which is simply a daily tablet.

@P00hsticks Thanks. Yes I suspect theh may err on side of caution as I was discharged from gynae (I had to have biopsy every 6 months due to endo hyperplasia) due to an administrative error. After a year of chasing and being entirely ignored I made a formal complaint. Biopsy was done but missed the cancerous tissue and was informed was pre-cancer. Now we know it was cancer...

So sorry this happened to you too and that your treatment ends soon.
