Sorry, queen, tried to post last night and website crashed.

My ex boss had uterine cancer, she had surgery followed by radiotherapy (implant, I think) and was very tired during the latter - but was back at work shortly after, and is still doing fine six years later.

My understanding is that its a very treatable cancer if caught reasonably early, and it often is caught reasonably early, IYSWIM.

Wishing you cousin the very very best...

ps she was in her early 30s.

Queen - sorry to hear about your sister - is it endometrial cancer, or a sarcoma of the uterus that she has been diagnosed with?

Elibean · 14/05/2008 13:37

Good point - I think my boss's was endometrial, but am not 100% sure.
