@triciaot I looked back at your earlier posts and saw that you have been treated for breast cancer. With tamoxifen as a risk for endometrial cancer I can certainly understand your concern. It’s great that your internist has listened to your concerns and ordered a CT of the abdomen and pelvis.
I did not have the symptom you mentioned before I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. My symptoms were bleeding (I was post-menopausal for 8 years at that time) and cramping that felt like my worst period when I was younger. It was the vaginal bleeding that got me into the gynecologist’s office because I knew that wasn’t normal.
As nerve-wracking as it is to follow a cancer survivorship program (I am in my 3rd year of it after a recurrence reset my 5 year clock) I’m thankful for these regular surveillance appointments. Did your internist make any guesses on why there is that asymmetry in your stomach/abdomen?
I’m keeping you in my thoughts as you head into that CT and hoping that it shows no evidence of disease. Will you return here and let me know what you find out?
