Endometrial Cancer

Today, 11/17/2008 is exactly one year since I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Endometrial Cancer. I consider myself to be a very blessed woman, and am very grateful to be alive. I’m 56 years old but was 55 when my cancer was discovered.

Thank you for sharing this story. I am 60 and have just experienced very similar problems... alerted my doctor back in April and only because of my persistence given the abnormal bleeding did my gynecologist take action of a slow: I saw her at the beginning of summer(June) where she simply did a pap smear. I had an ultrasound on July 16 and an endometria biopsy on August 20. Interesting the practice had scheduled an appointment for me on August 27, but then tried to reschedule for September 28. Only at my persistence was I given a Sept 3 appointment and was told I would be a "work in." Needless to say she said her next step would be for me to have a hysteroscopy and D&C. I took the first available date of September 18 and I am glad I did because now it will take another few weeks to get a consult with gynecology oncologist and then further tests before a decision can be made on my treatment...
