Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

I had my appointment and it went very well. Most all of my questions were answered (I forgot to ask a couple small details), but that was my fault. I will be seeing my oncologist every 3 to 6 months for the next 5 years. I received copies of my diagnosis, genetic study, etc. We spoke in detail about the symptoms I have been having and if and who should treat those. He prescribed something and I will start it today. I left feeling hopeful, grateful and relieved. I will be returning to work next week, so I am not sure how that will play into my recovery, but I am thinking maybe having my mind on other things may be a good thing. I can't thank you enough for your help. It has meant so much to me!!!

@cmb2022 This is such good news. I'm so happy to know that your appointment with your oncologist gave you reassurance and that you will be followed carefully over the near 5 years. And your oncologist addressed your menopause symptoms? It sounds like you are very ready to be back at work. I hope you will give yourself some room to take it slowly. When I went back to work I practically fell asleep at my desk after a few hours! My doctor told me that while I only had a few scars from the very small incisions on my abdomen I still had a lot of healing to do internally.

Thank you for letting me know that I was helpful to you. Will you let me know how you are feeling when you get back to work - will it be next week?
