@sor1959 From what I was told FIGO Grade 1 is good as it means that the cells in the uterine lining have not differentiated into so-called "abnormal cells". With worsening pain I'd be on the phone to my gyn/oncologist too to see if the date for surgery can be moved closer in time.

Will you let me know when you get through your gyn/oncologist?

Hello @sor1959,

Thank you for reaching out to the forum for support. I understand what you're going through. My initial diagnosis was stage low, but after surgery, it progressed to stage IV. The pain was excruciating, like a dagger piercing my pelvic area.

In hindsight, I should have managed my pain better. I was afraid to take medication, so I endured the discomfort. However, I found some relief using a hot water bottle.

My advice to you:

- Apply a hot water bottle to alleviate pain or take ibuprofen with your doctor's approval
- Avoid sugary foods and carbohydrates
- Drink tea made from leaves (like sour sop leaves tea, dandelion or caffeine-free peppermint)

Check in with the forum regularly for ongoing support.

Warm regards,
CC
