Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium: Pre-op prep & Diagnosis

Hi All, feeling positive to hear all your stories. I have stumbled here while searching for my mother's condition. She ( aged 70) lives in India and have been diagnosed with Endometrial Adenocarcinoma NOS, grade II around 10 days back using biopsy method. Her pep scan and MRI scans are showing that its only in uterus and hasn't spread anywhere else. She is having her robotic surgery to remove uterus tomorrow morning. Doctor have said that she most probably wont even need radiation or chemo after the surgery. We haven't even told her the word "cancer" and have told that removal surgery is very common procedure for women of her age. We did not want her to panic as the word "cancer" seems quite scary. This has worked perfectly fine till now and she is in good spirits going in her surgery but it has made us ( me , my brother and my dad) quite worried and anxious. I am just writing here to share her journey virtually and possibly get some guidance for future.
thanks and good luck to you all.

I am 71 years old and had robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer on Dec. 7th. Recovery was amazing. A month after surgery and I am feeling like my old self. Even though I had had bleeding symptoms for over a year the biopsy had not picked up on the cancer. The cancer had not escaped the uterus and my cancer was a slow growing grade so I will not need chemo and radiation. It was helpful for me to know and speak openly claiming the cancer diagnosis. The unknown is more unsettling than the known. The best to your mother.
@kkt78 How did your mother's surgery go? Is she resting comfortably at home? What did the doctors tell you about the Stage of Endometrial Adenocarcinoma? This is determined after surgery when the pathologists examine the uterus or any other organs that were removed during the hysterectomy.
How are you feeling today? Your mother has wonderful children and your dad to help her out.

@kkt78, I just found your post. I'm not sure how it slipped passed me. My mom also had uterine cancer which was luckily caught early. She had a hysterectomy and no further treatment necessary. She was 61 at the time and she's still with us. She turns 83 this week.
How did your mom's operation go? How are you doing?
