Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

@rose53 Hello,Rose. I’ve been sending you positive thoughts. How are you today?

I'm in Michigan but far away from you, I'm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Marquette County. It takes me as long to drive to Grand Rapids as it does to Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It's good for folks here to know that you think highly of your radiation oncologist and that she is still in Grand Rapids.

I live in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan. When I had radiation I had it a Blodgett Hospital. The radiation oncologist has since moved to U of M Metro Health in Grand Rapids. Dr. Julie Forstner was very good.

@ejrdevries It's lovely that you crochet baby blankets for a pregnancy resource center. I've learned that when I'm feeling something intensely or ill that doing something for someone else really helps. Do you agree? Like posting here on Mayo Clinic Connect and how we can help and support one another.

Hello, @rose53 This is excellent news! Yes, it takes a few days for pathology to review and then report the results. I got a call about a week after my surgery from the doctor's office to tell me the results of the pathology. Do you have a Mayo Clinic portal that you can sign into? If so, you can access reports on the portal. Reports from labs, scans, and pathology are first reviewed by your doctor before you can see them so if you don't see something you can message your doctor and ask. I've found that messages on the portal are answered very quickly.
Yes, that big sign of huge relief you are experiencing after the surgery. It was like that for me too. It took me a few weeks to get my energy back. I hope you take care of you and take the rest you need. My doctor told me that even though I had only a few visible incisions there were big changes inside me that take some time to heal.

Thank you for asking about me. Yes, I'm doing well and have my up and down moments - you know, that emotional rollercoaster you posted about.

At that one month followup my doctor discussed my cancer survivorship plan and gave me a written copy. If you need more treatment I think that's when you'll have that discussion with your doctor as you need to heal before doing anything else. Will you come back here and let me know what you find out from pathology?

Blessings to you and yours for Thanksgiving.

Helena,
Yes I had my surgery in Jacksonville. My doctor did not have to remove lympnodes because there was no visible spread. I'm still waiting from pathology for results from whatever they test. Haven't been told of any stage etc or any additional treatment. Does that come later after I receive pathology call in about a week Iwas told. My follow up is in a month. Now that the surgery is done, it took a heavy load of of me. Are you doing well? Thank you for your support .🥰

@rose53 We live in Michigan. Yes, I'm seeing a radiation oncologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The radiation oncologist and his team spent a lot of time with me and I feel I am in very good hands. How are you doing, @rose53? Are you recovering back at home?

Read my comments on this sight. I had this cancer 14 years ago. Advice: Ask questions, look up stuff on medical sites, follow the doctors advice along the way, and talk to all of us on here.

I did not quilt during that time, but did crochet baby blankets for pregnancy resource center. The week of chemo I did very little as I was too weak and had a foggy brain. Hard to read a book, even.

Where you located? Are you seeing oncologist at Mayo?
