Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

@cmb2022 I apologize for not replying sooner to your post. Besides some internet connection problems there have been many things happening within our household. My stepson (an adult) is on the autism spectrum and is low functioning. Through CT scans he was provisionally diagnosed with liver hemangiomas with one of these very large. I think the next step is a biopsy and so my partner has been beside himself with worry. With my worries about recurrence and an upcoming appointment in a few weeks we are both on edge.
Your symptoms of bleeding kept on for so long must have been so scary and painful for you. Your gynecologist sounds wonderful and kept on with you until the cause of all this was finally revealed through biopsy. These are the results we hope we will never hear and now I know that with my gynecologist (and yours) it's the not result they want to hear either. So once the diagnosis was made you got into surgery quickly. That was the same with me and with the plan in place it helped me calm down a little at the time. This is because I knew the cancer was being treated and quickly.
I'm at a retreat this weekend and have a gorgeous view from my room of Lake Superior. We *still* have snow with fresh snow falling this morning. A group are snowshoeing as I write this but I decided I needed some Connect catch up time and no socializing for a few hours. Then perhaps a nap before we reconvene later this afternoon. I will confess I have given in to a few sweet treats like cookies and stollen. The temptation is right in front of me. Sigh. Not out of sight and thus so in my mind.
Thank you for sharing your journey to your surgery. I wish you peace and calm this weekend.

@naturegirl5 , oh my. I am very sorry you have had a stressful week. I keep you and will add your partner and son to my prayers.
Oh how nice that you are on retreat. I hope you enjoy some time away and are able to relax and not stress for a few days. Oh, enjoy the special treats as they don't come everyday!
My elderly mother requires a good bit of attention/help and while I still am under the weather she needed some things today so while I would have rather stayed home and rested I ran some errands for her and picked up some necessities that we both needed.
My gynecologist is wonderful. I don't think I mentioned that she did my biopsy on the last working day that her office had before Christmas and she told me my results would take longer than normal because they were closing for the holidays. She said she would be in the office one day before the end of the year and if she had them she would call me as she knew I was very concerned. She called me on New Years Eve and I missed the call because I was helping get my mom into her house after running some errands. When I heard her message to return her call I called immediately and she told me she had left the office, but knew I was anxious to hear about the biopsy. She explained the results and then told me that the number she had given me was her personal cell and that if I had additional questions or was worried to please call her even if it were 4 in the morning. I was amazed that she would make such an offer to someone who was almost a stranger to her. I am forever grateful to have been referred to someone so compassionate.
We are getting snow here too today. I sure hope that spring comes soon.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and take care my friend.
