in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1
Hello Ladies,
What is the difference between these two cancers? Also, I have Endometrial Cancer and if anybody could suggest a few books on Endometrial cancer and also a few books on nutrition that you would highly recommend. I have been checking books on line and there is quite a price range on books both dealing with nutrition and Endometrial Cancer. So, I want to only buy 2 books on both topics. So if anybody can give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Sue

    Endometrial cancer
    Endometrial cancer is cancer in the endometrium of the uterus. 80% of these cancers are endometroid, or adenocarcinoma. The other 20% may be serous, clear cell, etc. A good site to explain this is:

    I hope this answers your question. If not, keep asking!

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Karen,
    Thanks for the web site. I definitely will be reading it tomorrow. I see my oncologist August
    11th for the results of my CT scan. When I was first diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer and my doctor called me on the phone and told me the news I was in shock! There was so much to deal with that I couldn't even think straight. I like my oncologist but after joining CSN I realized there is a lot more I should be discussing with my doctor and will be on August 11th.
    I have learned so much from you and the other ladies and appreciate all your help!
    Sincerely,
    Sue
