Tallypez, it's a huge thing to have a hysterectomy especially at your age. We have to be patient I suppose with people making awkward and thoughtless comments. It took me a while to accept my diagnosis and prognosis and finally the news that my endometrial cancer had metastasised. I really feel for the young who have to go through all the difficult decisions that have to be made. It's hard for family and friends to understand unless they have gone through it themselves. Su

Hi Juno,
Have a chat with you GP, talk to the Cancer Nurses on here and get another appointment with your GYN. You can never have too much information.

Hello everyone.
I received my cancer diagnosis on the 1st of July. It was an expected surprise really since a couple of my family members (4) have been diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 45-50. This goes back to my great grandmother. So now it seems I'm on that list as well. One thing I know is that I will make sure for my children's sake that they are aware of my cancer type and all relevant details so that they are informed of their genetic history.
I am waiting for my first appointment on Monday the 28th July to see what my treatment options are but I know it will most definitely be surgery. After that it depends on how they grade the cancer as to whether I need follow up treatment.
I think my children are coping well but it is early days and I think that once I am undergoing treatment it may be quite confronting. I guess the only thing that I can do is to be as supportive as I can and keep the channels of communication going so that they know exactly where we are heading. Anyway that's enough about me only to say I live rurally in WA and am quite isolated not only due to the diagnosis but the location as well.
Wishing you all well.

Did anybody consider not having chemo when diagnosed? I am more scared of that than the operation that was horrific in itself, after op, bowel blockage, acute renal failure, hypercalcemia, followed by wound infection that had to be opened up again! Guess I was just lucky hey lol Dunno whether I can do this anymore? Feel like just saying "just leave me alone"! Thanks for listening.
