Not in my case .. my uterine cancer was diagnosed bc of a funky Pap smear that led to a culposcopy , biopsy of cervix and uterus .. it was caught early but aggressive and high rate of recurrence! Continue to have routine Pap smears !! After age 65

I agree, not to be on top of it, and preventative stage 1. Read on this site about those who Dr's dudvghst with, only gave hysterectomy and it camw back less then year, reoccurrence. Went to couple other areas, I think brain, and she was active on here, people tried checking on her, no response. I can't get that out of my mind, and to stay on the offense no matter what advisors say about caught early after reading that. The poor lady was very upset that she felt her cancer was not looked at as serious situation. Idk, but I felt so badly reading the thread. I pray she's OK, but she never responded after like 5-6 months later. I dont wanna live in fear, but I do wanna be wise, and looking out to stay on top of it all, not just take it lightly for sure. You can't always believe or know just 1 opinion

what type of cancer do you have? was it contained to your uterus or do you have cervical cancer as well.
i have never come across someone who has endometrial cancer that has spread beyond the uterus that is considered early stage cancer. typically a spread to the cervix is stage II.
