if you feel comfortable posting those other confusing findings the people here might be able to help you understanding what it's saying. i know it's confusing with pathology, grades, stages, wild types, stains but many of us have teased out those meanings.

on the upside grade 1 is really good news, if there is good news in a sentence with cancer. it is the early stage and you will need a hysterectomy but it good end there. a couple women in this thread has grade 1 and didn't need radiation or chemo. i have stage 1b (determined after the hysterectomy) which means the cancer is more than 50% thru the uterus wall. i am at 57% and i have to have brachytherapy (radiation wand inserted into the vagina for pinpoint treatment) i only need 5 sessions and they are done every other day.

after that i won't need chemo or any further radiation - i'll just have to go for follow ups every 3 months for then next few years to make sure the cancer hasn't returned.

just know that it's really scary now but it is going to be okay.

my husband said to cheer me up - your remission could be so long you could get hit by a bus and die from that. he a glass half full kind of guy.
