I was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma on Nov 14. I started with one episode of vaginal spotting in early October. Saw my gynecologist who scheduled a transvaginal ultrasound. Waiting for that took the longest. I had that on Nov 4, my gynecologist saw me immediately after the ultrasound. It showed my endometrium measured 10.5 mm, also a complex ovarian cyst, and uterine polyp. He drew a C-125 that day and scheduled the biopsy for 5 days later. C-125 was slightly elevated, he said to make an appointment with the gene oncologist. I got an appointment 12 days later. Did the endometrial biopsy, but the results weren’t back when I saw the oncologist. He was very upset with that and gave me some scenarios depending on the results. He told my gynecologist office to call the lab and tell them he wanted those results that day, as I had the biopsy 6 days ago. About 2 hours later my gynecologist called and gave me the results. The oncologist called me within 10 minutes and said I needed the hysterectomy, removal of tubes, ovaries, entire cervix and lymph nodes for staging. My surgery was scheduled 15 days later. So this week, , on the 30, I will be having surgery. My emotions have gone from panic attack to learning as much as I can. I have gotten cardiac clearance and clearance from my primary care. My primary care has helped me through this emotionally, but she knows me the best. The hardest part has been telling my daughter. She is adopted, and I adopted her as a single parent. My parents and all my siblings have passed. I just turned 65, and my daughter is 27. My primary care had me call her after I told my daughter, who lives and works 750 miles away. I am active in my church, and have a strong faith, but still have been struggling. My daughter will be home this Sunday to be with me during surgery and recovery. She has a significant other, but they are not married. She plans on staying through Christmas as she can work remotely. Her boyfriend may join us for Christmas. I am grateful to have found this group as I needed to be in contact with others going through the same thing. I just retired in September after 44 years as a nurse. I don’t know if being a nurse is of value or more hindrance. I know to much.
