Haven’t pulled up the old thread as it’s pages long

So got the histology results

All organs outside the womb were clear including the membrane that goes between the area and the stomach

It was all contained in the womb but some dead cells were found in the next layer and another tumour was forming in the womb

The outer wall was clear so it’s unlikely any cells have migrated but just to be sure ,once it’s all healed,they recommend a course of radiotherapy that would zap anything

Will be getting a consultation appt soon with an oncologist to discuss but I will have it
anyway

Just goes to show though you just don’t know what’s going on inside you :-(


The results weren’t what I expected but it’s all out so that’s a bonus :-)

So pleased that the tumour was all removed and that you will be offered radiotherapy if needed.

:-)

It sounds like you are being carefully monitored and offered good follow-up treatment.

I hope all goes well and that you don't have to wait too long for your next appointment.

I would echo your warning that any unusual symptoms or marks on the skin should be checked... We just don't know what they might mean, onless they're investigated.

Thank goodness you acted promptly.

That is good news and I hope it continues to go well. xx.

So pleased for you Shirley that all's well and glad they are offering radiotherapy just to make sure. Hope you don't have to wait too long for the next appointment. What a relief for you and your family.

Take care <3

I don't know anything about these things but it is great that it is all removed and a 'just in case' scenario seems a good idea.

The oncologist should be able explain it all.

Thanks folks

Been a worrying 4 months plus

Thank goodness I got checked as soon as I had the unusual sign

Am being very positive that I can now get on and enjoy life :-D

Brilliant news, Shirley <3

Very good news, Shirley??

Hope the follow up treatment is promptly administered and the end result very positive. You still have plenty of living to do

Thanks Liz

I have an appointment on Thursday 27th with the oncologist to discuss pros and cons of radiotherapy

Can’t start till all healed but seems they are setting things up to be ready

I intend to have it anyway as an extra precaution and follow up

Very good and positive news. I'm so pleased for you Shirley. xx

Sounds very positive news, Shirley...... how are you feeling in yourself and after the op? <3

I have been surprisingly very well

Little to no pain which is surprising considering the whole lot was removed

Still got stitches as they are disposable but they are still in situ

The worse part is the daily injection of blood thinner that has to be done in the tum

I have to steel myself to select an area and jab it in!

Only 4 more to go

Have to wait 72 hours then till I can have a glass of rose

I really could do with a glass .or two !

Good news Shirley <3 <3

You're doing really well, Shirley <3

Only three more sleeps ;-)

Well went to hospital on Thursday to see the oncologist and expecting to be given a radiotherapy plan

Wasn’t prepared for the results given!

So it was a very factual and was a very fast rare growing tumour

Even though no sign of spread there’s no guarantees a cell hasn’t migrated even though all other organs were clear

So it’s now 4 sessions of chemo ,once every three weeks ,Then 25 sessions of radiotherapy

Not what I was expecting tbh but am still being positive


At times I am omg this is what will carry me off ! But if it buys me some more years then it’s a bonus


At 84 I know I am on the down years anyway

I'm so sorry Shirley. Thank goodnessyou went to the Docs asap.
I'm sure there will be lots of useful advice coming on here.
The only thing I know is that someone was advised to get gel fingernails to protect their own.

That was a shock for you Shirley but fingers crossed that nothing has migrated and the chemo while it is not what anyone wants will be hopefully preventative.The good news is that you have felt well with no pain which means you will be strong before going on the chemo. Stay your usual positive self, we will all be rooting for you. <3 <3

Sorry to read this news Shirley- not what you wanted to hear but you are keeping a positive attitude and that’s what matters. I know your family are supportive and so are your friends here.

Treat yourself kindly and stay strong.
Will be thinking about you

Oh Shirley, this was a bit of a shock and not quite what you were expecting but... chemo is available to you and also the radiotherapy. So heres hoping that the combined treatments will kill off any odd cell lurking about.

When my daughter had cancer years ago, the words"its bad but we can treat you", have always stayed with me because for some children they couldnt treat and just sent them home.
So being offered treatment is a good sign as that means, they are sure it will do its job.

Positive thoughts coming your way and hugs too. Will be thinking of you and im sure you will keep us informed.

Take care <3 x
