Diagnosed with endometrium adenocarcinoma few days ago
Gynecologic Cancers | Last Active: Apr 26, 2023 | Replies (52)Comment receiving replies
I was just diagnosed with uterine cancer also with endometrial adenocarcinoma. They were going to do the surgery immediately within two days but I said no because we needed to confer with my cardiologist. Just had a cardiac surgery and wanted to determine the best process to follow with the least risk to me. I have a transesophageal echo echo scheduled for 12 one. And expect my hysterectomy to be scheduled after that.

@pema2, that's a lot to deal with all at once.
You're wise to coordinate the two specialities: Cardiology and Oncology. Mayo Clinic offers expertise in addressing heart problems and cancer (called cardio-oncology), potential or current issues. The Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment. That might be an option where you're being treated too.
In addition to scheduling surgery, your oncology team should be aware of your cardiac condition when considering future cancer treatments.
How long ago was your cardiac surgery? I look forward to hearing how things proceed.
