Anyone had pelvic pain with FIGO Grade 1 endometrial cancer?

@naturegirl5 Thank you so much for this post. I too have pain in my pelvis and back with this diagnosis of Endometrial Adenocarcinoma, Endometrioid type (FIGO stage 1) and immediately thought the test results said I was stage 1. It did not. I also have bladder pressure, urgency and frequent urination symptoms. My Dr. explained the staging would come after surgery was performed. I really wanted to understand the FIGO stage 1 reference as well as the the actual staging when it came to me. I will be looking up those sites. Thank you for your help. 😊

First of all your doctors can and should explain this to you until
you feel you understand clearly. But They may have said you have “FICO Grade 1” which means a slow growing type of cancer. This can can tell before the surgery.
As I wrote below I had similar type pain and was fearful that meant I had a later stage endometrial cancer. Most doctors said they thought the pain was most likely unrelated to my cancer. I just had a complete robotic hysterectomy
2 weeks ago. Luckily for me it was stage 1 A 🙏. I continued to have very similar pain after the surgery until about a week ago. It is now almost gone and my surgeon believes I just had very sensitive nerves near my uterus. Now they are healing. Everyone is so different !! I hope this helps.

@kkathysan Actually if you are talking with a medical professional then use this term: FIGO Grade 1. So if this is correct your diagnosis is Endometrial adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade 1.
That's the same as me prior to my surgery. Staging as your doctor said is different and refers to the testing that is done on the tissue removed during surgery.
