I was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus, stage 1. I was told this is a slow moving cancer. The cancer would have been missed if a second biopsy/ or larger piece of uterus lining wasn't tested. The first biopsy during a hysteroscopy / D &C procedure showed no signs of cancer. It just showed up a polyp on the lining of my uterus. The polyp was removed and no cancer was found. I think a lot of my bleeding was because of the polyp. My question is, is this the kind of cancer you were diagnosed with..
Good luck to you!
@karina60 Thank you for sharing your journey. You wrote what many of us have shared again and again. Be that squeaky wheel. Advocate for yourself. You are the expert with your own body. If you feel something is not quite right with your own body then push for answers. Any one of us who has had a cancer diagnosis in the past knows that we are at risk for a recurrence or another cancer. Here is to the wish and hope that you are looking at many more years of life ahead due to your own advocacy.
Would you like to share the kind of chemotherapy you are receiving? How are you feeling?
