hi, i am newly diagnosed with what we are thinking is uterine cancer

Hybridspirits

definitely cancer they said the aggressive type, they told me that the sample from the D&C had some non cancer cells in it and that concerned them. They are having me rule our the cancer coming from possibly my colon. had a clean colonoscopy 1 1/2 years ago!

the short of it is this all happened yesterday afternoon, my head is spinning, i only feel like crying and am coming here for some support. I had blood tests yesterdays to rule out cancer coming from other areas, they called these markers.

i am going to do a cat scan - pelvic today at 2:30 ET. Monday i meet with the surgeon to review findngs and gynecological oncologist next Friday

how did you guys get it together so fast. how do you even go about finding dr's for second and third opinions. right now i feel so useless and overwhelmed, sad and scared

any advice even reassuring words would be great.

thanks much

So sorry,
So Sorry, you have been dx with this ugly disease. As horribe and scary the situation may seem, you will manage to move on and take care of yourself. We were all there exactly in your shoes, we know what you are going through. I do not know about second opinions, but the ladies here will guide you through. Please have someone go to your appointments with you and have them take notes because you are not going to register anything now. Pray that God give you the strength and wisdom to face this journey. it's doable as you will see on this forum. best wishes.

We have all been where you are today. Believe it or not - the worse I have found so far is the waiting. Waiting to see a Dr., Waiting for tests, waiting for results, etc. It seems you are being moved quickly through the system and you will find that your head will be spinning for weeks to come. I hope you have a spouse or child or sibling to go through this with you. I don't think I could have made it alone - although there are many on here who have.
I found visits to the Dr were definite times when I needed someone with me - two heads are better than one and many times I would be stuck on one thing the Dr said and would miss the next 3 things - so try to find someone to go with you. Take notes and bring questions with you. When I go in to the Drs office I seem to leave my brain outside - so I would bring questions with me and make sure they were answered before I left.
Used to tick my Dr off but I didn't care.
God bless - keep asking questions - nothing is off limits here. We try to understand everyone's situation is different - but the pain, anxiety and worry is all the same.
Peace and comfort - glad you found us.

Janh_in_ontario. thank you
Janh_in_ontario. thank you so much for the kind words. I am too glad I found you. I am lucky in that my husband is out of work (not lucky for the money) but lucky for his time. My best friend is retired so she should be able to help. we should have the first round of tests done for meeting with surgeon on monday. I think i just need to take a break on the worrying as it can't do anything between now and monday. i agree the waiting is tough.

i feel like crying all the time, change that i am crying all the time. i am hoping this is a stage i need to pass through as i need to get positive and strong. Any tips on this. i am not normally one who cries but i feel like i can't talk about it without crying.

Crying
I think it is a good thing your tears are coming. I believe they are like the steam valve on a pressure cooker and help deal with grief and anxiety. I am not a crier but did sob really hard a couple times ( set off by some inconsequential thing). I think it helped and I have wished many times since that I could just turn it on when I'm feeling stressed. It's ok.

I agree with all that has been said. OK to cry - let it out and talk about it with your husband and friends. Ask for help. One suggestion to be positive and strong is to make a conscious decision to do just that. I remember when I decided not to just be a cancer victim. It is very freeing.

Other thoughts - get copies of your records. Ask for a tissue assay (functional profile). I went to a nearby major cancer center for second opinion.

Sounds like your docs are moving fast which is good. Waiting is the worst. Glad that you are deciding that worry is fruitless. It is.

Hugs and best wishes. Stay connected. Mary Ann

This must have been a bad week for Uterine Cancer, I read three weeks ago how spotting is abnormal for Menopausal woman, I called for a GYN appt.
Went 7 days ago they did a uterine cell biopsy on first visit and I got a call on my way to work on the 19th that I had Uterine cancer. two hours later I found out it was Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma Grade 2. My first appt. with a cancer Dr. Isn't till the 30th. My emotions are all over the place. I can't
Stay off the Internet googling all about this.

new diagnosis and emotions
i found out my results this past Tuesday. i haven't found out the specifics just yet as i needed to go do a pelvic cat scan as not all the cells were cancerous from the d&c. they have to rule out met. So at least you are in a little better shape. On Tuesday i was a mess. Wed continued but got it together for the pelvic Cta. I have done a bit of blood tests and have a follow up with the Dr on Monday to review these tests to see where we are.
my Dr before I met on Tuesday to find out the results of my biopsy had already called in a gyno oncologist and have an appt next Friday there. is your appt with the Dr a gyno or gyno oncologist. I am sorry they just called you when you were alone on your way to work. That must have been very frightening hearing that alone.

Because so much was happening so fast and I couldn't hold it together, I quickly emailed a friend and said I needed help getting positive as that attitude was currently very south. I am a big bicycle rider and she said she would get a group out on Thanksgiving morning meet at 7:30 am

By Thursday I woke up at 4am and said I can't change anything. My job in this journey is to fight and this is the first time I will need others. I have typically been a very strong willed leader in my family and work. So I called another best friend real early on Thursday and said I have put a team together will you join. She was thrilled with my attitude and we decided to name it Team Sharon we will beat it (not sure even what we are fighting just yet, just know I have to beat it )everyone close I have shared I have asked to join my journey with a role. I now feel supported.
Well thanksgiving came I went on my bike ride, 20 miles and it was great. It took me out of the house and got me an instant high. Now Friday I continue to read posts and I am scared again.. I can't change anything, as much as I want to. I can only fight. I just don't know what i am fighting yet. Looking back at the past 4 days. I needed to feel that way, I needed to cry non stop, I needed to be angry. I don't think I could feel strong today Friday if I hadn't. I am even getting better saying I have cancer without shedding tears.

I can definitely understand how you feel. You call yourself Sisters Three. Since we are starting the same time I feel like you a sister I could use, I really don't have any blood relatives, no siblings to lean on. That is why I needed a team of friends. I do have my husband and kids but don't wan the entire burden on them.

i am too googlng everything. It is driving me crazy. I allowed my self so much of that and after the first few days and on ThanksgivingIi decided to gain control and not let the situation control me. How I felt after my bike ride told me to not let this control me. I am still living and I need to continue as such.
It is scary, I am scared. But i want my team of friends to stay strong so I have to be brave. please when you feel down or awful, or scared, please post to me. I am here

Your spirit will carry you
The diagnosis and the fear for me was like being thrown in a deep pool of water. At first going under I was over-whelmed. Then kicking I came up to the top and started to float and breathe. It got easier as time went along. Surgery, radiation, chemo... and I am still here 3 years later No Evidence of Disease (NED) so far.
It can be done and your wonderful spirit will carry you through. I found my beleif in God was a great comfort to me through it all. Each of us develops our own way of coping. Thanks for offfering your support to us all. We are here for you too.

Honey! you are all over the
Honey! you are all over the map! Slow down, you don't even know what to fight yet! And stay away from the internet and Dr. Google! It will give you a nervous breakdown and stress you out even more. I have 1a,c poorly differentiated which is early bad agressive stuff. You can't find out everything at once..we all play the waiting game with these cancers. Talk to your dr. get all your reports, make a list of questions, and take someone with you to hear what you miss and give them permission to ask questions for you, and don't forget to breath! Best, debrajp

Saturday morning bacon cooking!!!!!
If your riding a bike 20 miles a few days after diagnosis your on the right side of fighting it sounds like. I read a post a few days ago about the waiting and that seems to be the biggest hurdle to learn to deal with. My shock was at first, I can't do this right now, maybe in a few months. My husband who is 58 (I'm 50) is facing surgery the second month of Dec for 6 aneurysms found in his aortic vein. We have been told to get our important stuff in order before his surgery. I was strong and had it all together for him, then got tripped up by this.

I'm huge on finding deals so 6 hours after diagnosis went to buy new jeans, found 6 pair all my size at the GOODWILL almost new condition.For some reason this was comforting and calming. Normal stuff to try to make it a normal day. same with your bike ride.
I'm sisters three because of my two sisters who have always been there for me, we are all three strongly connected but they don't have the same
Experience that all you ladies can share with me. When I found this sight I gave a huge sigh of relief. Real women willing to give energy to those who need it to fight this disease. Thank you,. Hybrid Spirits sounds like we will be in this together with the more experienced ladies.

nice and sunny here today
wow, you do have a lot on your shoulders. I will keep your husband in my prayers. That is too funny about Goodwill. that is my daughters favorite store for the same reason. God put those jeans there for you to find to uplift your spirits. Have you worn the new jeans yet?

How was your thanksgiving? I could imagine a little like mine but even worse given the support you are trying to give your husband.

fyi,, i am 54 so in the same age range. What can I do to help you with anything I might have already attended to as i think i might be one step ahead, will know more this coming week.

from your posting title, sounds like you might like to cook as well? what other things make you feel good? i decided to make sure i do one thing a day to keep me positive.

let's keep in contact to make sure our spirits and positive attitude stay afloat.
talk to you later

Friday Dr. Appt. answer
My Friday appt. is with a gyno oncologist. Other than the Uterine biopsy (positive, which gave diagnosis) CA125 test (showed negative, but in 20 % of women with cancer they still show negative) the only other tests were pap which no results they have reported as of yet and other blood and urine all negative. This will be an on going thing as they decide new tests on Friday. I was told to expect colonoscopy and varies CAT/ Ultrasound tests. I'm guessing in another three weeks we may know how far it's gone plus new updates on the stage. Of course wishing it won't go farther than stage 2.

You have me wanting to buy a bike. I wonder if Goodwill has one????????

buying bike
How funny. What state do you live in. my best guess for a cheap bike is craigs list and believe it or not our dump here has them. I started leading bike rides this summer to share my passion and get folks out no matter what they had. i have one guy who got his bike at the dump and would ride in his jeans. So maybe. I told my husband that i will now need to take my passion for biking to cancer patients so the rides can be suited for them. I hope I get to do that.
The key is to find one thing for yourself every day. i just got back from a walk through our town walking trail through the woods, it is 43 and sunny a little windy here in Ct. Do you like to walk? My friend read an article this past week on the benefits of being out doors in the woods on getting rid of bad cancer cells, must be one of the mind over matters. We both have to stay positive as that will only work for us. what other things do you like to do?

how is your husband feeling?

(oh by the way it may sound like i have it together, i do and i don't. I go into a slump but try to quickly refocus myself and repeat, feeling sorry will not make this better. I can feel that both of us will be strong and get through this together. God brought us together as our journey has started about the same time.

any great plans today?

Friday......D-day

Bikes
I live in North Carolina, there are really not a lot of places to ride bikes close to the house but I love to ride. About 12 years ago I had a truck and a matching MTN bike that I loved and rode often, I haven't had either of those for years and miss them.

I started leading bike rides this summer to share my passion and get folks out no matter what they had. i have one guy who got his bike at the dump and would ride in his jeans. So maybe. I told my husband that i will now need to take my passion for biking to cancer patients so the rides can be suited for them. I hope I get to do that.
The key is to find one thing for yourself every day. i just got back from a walk through our town walking trail through the woods, it is 43 and sunny a little windy here in Ct. Do you like to walk? My friend read an article this past week on the benefits of being out doors in the woods on getting rid of bad cancer cells, must be one of the mind over matters. We both have to stay positive as that will only work for us. what other things do you like to do?

how is your husband feeling?

(oh by the way it may sound like i have it together, i do and i don't. I go into a slump but try to quickly refocus myself and repeat, feeling sorry will not make this better. I can feel that both of us will be strong and get through this together. God brought us together as our journey has started about the same time.

any great plans today?

New too and dazed
This must have been a bad week for Uterine Cancer, I read three weeks ago how spotting is abnormal for Menopausal woman, I called for a GYN appt.
Went 7 days ago they did a uterine cell biopsy on first visit and I got a call on my way to work on the 19th that I had Uterine cancer. two hours later I found out it was Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma Grade 2. My first appt. with a cancer Dr. Isn't till the 30th. My emotions are all over the place. I can't
Stay off the Internet googling all about this.

I still Google my disease
I still Google my disease frequently and have been since I was diagnosed in March. I carefully look at the dates of the articles though, since treatments have changed over the years. I give the most weight to the most recent articles.

I have started googling more on diet changes I can incorporate into my life. Doing this while I wait and wait for tests to come and go.

appts - surgery next wed
i have had my appt with my gyno oncologist. wonderful dr. spent the last week checking every organ to make sure it didn't come from there. Past everything okay, blood markers okay, colonoscopy ok, pelvic cat scan oaky. today had abdominal cat/lung cat and i think i have covered all body parts.
i have surgery (full hyster) next wed, freaking out a bit. will get the results from abdominal cat scan and if okay they are getting closer to feeling that it came from the uterus. As long as no major surprises on Monday from cat surgery stays as planed
If anyone has any great advice re the hysterectomy that would be great. The plan is to use the Divinci robot.

Sisters three, how are you doing? i know i am basically going crazy in circles typically organized and not so much now. I did buy a juicer seeing you were juicing, can you share some of what you are juicing. i did get the anti cancer book and
foods to fight cancer books.

How is your husband doing? does he have his surgery soon. Both of you are in my thoughts.
