@jessy0628 This is such terrible news and doubly so given that you are in the process of divorce. And on your birthday too. Are your emotions all over the place? Mine sure were when I was told the diagnosis. I was so devastated that I got lost on familiar route when coming home from the doctor's office.

I had spotting and later cramps that told me something wasn't right as I was post-menopausal. I do hope that when you have the MRI and chest x-ray that these will show no evidence of disease and you can move forward with treatment. What does your doctor recommend? From many of us who have posted here at Mayo Clinic Connect it seems surgery (radical hysterectomy) is the first step. The tissue that is removed is sent to pathology with a pathologist (also an MD) will examine under the microscope and diagnose the type of cancer and the stage. In my case the type of cancer was what the biopsy showed - endometrioid adenocarcinoma - and the stage was considered Stage 1a as no evidence of cancer was found outside the uterus (none in the cervix, ovaries or fallopian tubes). Like you, I was frightened when I received the initial diagnosis but I did start to feel a little better after meeting with the surgeon (gyn-oncology) who explained the treatment plan. Just knowing that I was going to be treated helped a lot.

When is your next appointment with your doctor? When are you scheduled for the MRI and chest X-ray?
