The beginning process of diagnosing endometrial cancer

I have had a uti every month for 4 months, it is wearing me down but the fact I hate keep taking antibiotics. I had uterus cancer in 2009 and recurrence in my vaginal cuff in 2016. I also get nausea and lower back pain but I keep up on my tests CT, MRI for breast since I have had breast cancer also. Pet scan and my blood tests I also see my gynecologist oncologist annually and my regular gynecologist annually. They are aware of my trust issues since they missed my cancer before. Just be proactive that’s all you can do and try and get through a day when your thoughts are not about cancer, it’s hard. Some of my friends think I am paranoid and a hypochondriac I don’t care.

I'm so sorry Jean for all you've been through and are going through. I had my urology consult right after the endometrial biopsy on Thursday. He put me on an antibiotic prophylactically for the next year! Methenamine
It's called. It's specific to uti prevention. Not a broad spectrum antibiotic which is harder on the body. I also have scripts to get urine tested when I feel symptoms. Are your uti's caused by the same organism? I hope all the best for you. Trish

@jeanadair123 I keep up too on my cancer surveillance appointments. All of are different in how we process and view our cancer journeys. Once I was diagnosed with cancer that knowledge changed my view of the world, my life, and my emotional outlook. With your journey you are doing everything you can to take care of yourself and I understand why your thoughts return to cancer on some days. So do mine.
