Just diagnosed with atypical complex hyperplasia after uterine biopsy

Thank you Helen ❤️🥰 trying to stay positive

HI am1105,

I'm so sorry to hear your news. It must be really frightening. I wish I knew more about it...I send this with prayers and lots of sympathy. I wanted you to see something here in case Helen couldn't reply.

I don't mean to share "toxic positivity" here, so ignore this part if you aren't ready to hear it. One good thing is that you are getting medical care right now. You have a team in place. You are getting informed. They are following the procedures and doing the tests. Maybe try repeating a phrase to calm your nerves and fears? Something like "They know what they are doing. They do it all the time." or "I am getting the best care possible."?

I hope this helps a little. Sending hugs.

Helen, I had my follow up today after my surgery and I’m in complete shock. Stage 1 endometrial cancer however they found a 3mm tumor in my ovary as well. I’m beyond devastated. I almost passed out in the Dr’s office. They did biopsy the lymph nodes they came back negative they also did a cavity wash which came back negative. Oncologist believes that these are two serrated incidences. I’m so distraught not sure what to think. Oncologist is working with pathology to see if both are related, if they are then I have to have chemo, if not then no chemo necessary. Have you ever heard of this before? I’m so so scared. Thank you

Thank you so very much, I hope so too. That’s all I have been doing is searching on the internet which can bring you down many rabbit holes. Thank you for your kind words. 🙏

@amt1105 When I had my hysterectomy in 2019 the nurse who prepped me was so very helpful. While she couldn’t explain all the information about my diagnosis (endometrioid adenocarcinoma) she was very experienced with hysterectomies including how to know when I could drive my car again. I’m hoping that your medical team is caring and informative and that your doctor answers all your questions.

Yes a lot of information to take in I’m hoping the Dr explains things even more today. Yes it’s supposed to be same day but we will see how it goes. I would like to go home afterwards but depending on my pain level afterwards. Thank you again for all your support and kind words. Thank you for your prayers.

@amt1105 That’s a lot of information to take in. I hope your doctor also explained it all to you. You must be very relieved that there is no evidence for uterine invasion or disease external to the uterus. With laparoscopic surgery will you be in and out of the hospital in the same day? It’s really amazing to me that major surgery like a hysterectomy (it’s major surgery to me, anyway) can be done in same day surgery. I am sending you warm thoughts and hugs as you go into the surgery and good news after the surgery is done.

Yes surgery tomorrow for complete hysterectomy, what’s left from my partial hysterectomy from 5 years ago. My surgeon will be doing laproscopic surgery. MRI results showed I have adenomyosis, 1 small polyp. Endometrium normal, no thickening 2mm, no evidence of myometrial invasion or extra uterine invasion. No adnexal masses found. No evidence of extra uterine disease. As you can imagine, I was crazy looking all of this up and what it exactly means. I’m eager to have this surgery done. Thank you so very much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.

@amt1105 I’m wondering what you found out from the specialist that you saw on November 15. Did you leave the appointment with a plan?

Hi amt1105,
Good luck at your appointment.
Since you mentioned that you pray, I'll venture to offer this:
Put your trust in the Lord for He is good. His mercy endures forever.
Thy will be done. (This little prayer got me through an entire hospitalization.)
Hugs to you and your wonderful husband!
