@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?

Thank you for the follow up, Helen! When I was in the internist office she just said she would review my health history and records to see if there might be a reason for concern. I had never seen her before, Ive had a different provider at each 6 month follow up. Not sure what made her decide that the CT was warranted but there is a variety of cancers on my father’s side, colon, pancreatic, lung, brain.
I know most people experience bleeding, and some the cramping pain. Maybe this is a sign before bleeding? (how many folks look down and notice their belly button is off center??!) Navel gazing . . . really!!
I will come back and let you know what they found. They’re usually pretty quick with posting scans and reports.
