Endometrial cancer: Cancer spot found in the pelvic parametrium lining

Don't know the answer but a good question but I believe that they are different perhaps someone else knows

@mablejoy Yes, you've asked for help and it's so good that are getting it.

@shivey, good question. As per NCI definitions:
The parametrium is fat and connective tissue that surrounds the uterus. It helps connect the uterus to other tissues in the pelvis.

The omentum is the fold of the peritoneum (the thin tissue that lines the abdomen) that surrounds the stomach and other organs in the abdomen.

This sounds very similar to my own situation. I begin chemo this week...6 treatments spaced out with 21 days in between each. Radiation is likely after that. My oncologist.. a young woman who is up to date on the latest information, told me there is a good possibility that will take care of it. The schedule seems like a long time, but I feel better knowing something is going to be done. I had laproscopic surgery and recovered very well from that. I hope for the best for you in your treatment going forward!

It does sound similar. You will have to let me know how chemo goes. My dr is optimistic but trying to manage expectations. I appreciate that but working hard on a positive attitude and outlook

Sometimes you just run out of words...it seems like once you get the short straw for cancer it is the beginning of a merry-go-round of 'anx', worry, and waiting. I go in for my hysterectomy a week from this Wednesday, and have the same type of cancer diagnosis: Endometrial Adenocarcinoma stage 1. But until I see the final pathology report I feel like I'm only half breathing. Maybe you get use to not being the boss of yourself in one way and in another you recognize you're the only person who can passionately advocate for you because the stakes are higher than anyone without having cancer could ever comprehend. Add the tension of living scared going thru the motion of living every day and you force yourself to eventually make a stand. It comes down to asking yourself what your 'new normal' is and recognize what a blessing it is for any human to exist day by day, cancer or no cancer. It's also a blessing to recognize what wonderful people - the medical community, our family, friends, people we don't know who care as well - all with a desire to share whatever they have to give to buoy us up. My faith in Christ is literally a 'godsend' - and a strength. I don't know my future, nobody knows theirs either. But I do know that I have the ability to make life a little sweeter for others even if I have to be brave. I wish you every good blessing for a life of contentment and gratitude. That is what hope is to me.

AMEN TO THAT

Thank you so much

I also got Grade 1 stage 1A EC, without any adjuvant treatment, do you guys think bean radiation is useful for prevent recurrent? I am worry I am under treatment. One mayo oncologist told me Mayo only has 1% recurrent, it seems not true at all.
