Endometrial cancer: How fast should you have surgery?

Thank you. I had a teledoc appt today with my oncologist. While she didn't seem concerned with the date, she could definitely see that it concerned me (because of the pathology comment re: higher grade clear cell). I'm a little more informed now, and not as concerned. That said, she is also checking schedules to see if she can move the surgery sooner. She wants me to be comfortable. I feel fortunate to have someone I trust with my care. Lucky to have found her. Thank you also for the link above...I will definitely check it out.

Hello @cialonel
I'm Rose53 and read your experience right now. I have been where you are now and at the very day I was told I had the same cancer you have Iwas stunned. I couldn't not process it for a couple of days !Then it sunk in and that's when flood of emotions came all out. I didn't want to wait so followed what I needed to do, go see an Oncologist and have surgery. That was first and foremost, so I focused on that. I did not know how bad or whether it spread. I would know that after surgery. However, CAT SCAN was done before surgery but no spread anywhere else, so good news. My spirit was up.
Within a month I was having surgery. I was fortunate I got in quicker than I thought. You know we think worst of our situations than what it really is. Pray, pray, hope, hope. I leaned on that. The day of surgery, robotic, I was told no visible signs of cancer around uterus.When pathology report came after surgery, no spread and cancer was located in one of fallopian tube, small one. So no treatment required and go back in six months . Please, be calm, hope for the best, trust doctors will do their best for your treatment. Mayo is fantastic. Your in a good place. Best wishes for a good outcome and a quick recovery. This connect group was my support and Colleen has given you names I reach out to. They were so helpful 🥰 Let us know please how it turns out.
