in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

I was diagnosed with uterine cancer just over a year ago. I had a radical hysterectomy and had radiation treatments.  I have been back for check ups and everything appeared to be good.    I have started spotting a small amount and I am wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or is this normal?     Thank you     shagen

    Hi!

    I am no doctor here but I don't like the sound of this.  Please call your doctor.  I would like to know if this bleeding is normal or not!

    Good luck to you

    Karen

    Yes. You probably do need to

    Yes. You probably do need to follow up on that. There is a good chance it's not an awful problem, but unusual bleeding of any sort after menopause or a hysterectomy needs attention.

    Call your doctor's office. 

    Call your doctor's office.  Hopefully you were working with a gynecologic oncologist.  None of us our doctors but that doesn't sound right.  Please come back and let us know how you are doing.
