I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer a few days ago. The post menopausal vaginal bleeding was my symptom. At first, I thought it was caused by a polyp, so I ignored it for a few months. I haven't had any type of pain. Thank GOD I finally realized I needed to tell my mother - who is an RN - and had it checked out. We caught it early.

[@corazonyap3499]

Hi… i also experience a post menopausal bleeding last aug 2023, my doctor conducted a papsmear and trans viginal ultrasound, results of papsmears was neg to any cancer and the result of my transvaginal ultra was also perfecly fine with .44cm endometrium thickness… no medecine given .. and this march 14 2024, i got postmeno bleeding again and under go with trans vaginal ultra sound and my result was i got 1.23cm endometrium thickness… and advised to have a Dilatation & curretage D&C…

[@joannemazurek9075]

@emalejandro1214 I don't mind talking about it. We need to be able to openly talk about these things so women don't feel isolated going through it. I had a Level 1 grade 1. The treatment wad a complete hysterectomy . The cancer was caught very early and was contained.

I was diagnosed with stage 1A uterine cancer 1 month after being diagnosed with stage 1A ovarian cancer. Luckily, my ovarian cancer was all removed during a laparotomy. But for my uterine cancer, i am on HRT and biopsies every 3 months. I told my doctor I don’t want to remove my womb as I am 33 and want to have kids and the HRT was the best option 🙏🏼

Hello, my fiance was just diagnosed with stage 1 endometrial cancer. I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about your experience and recovery. She is 34 and is worried about being so young. I'm just trying to educate myself the best I can to help her through it. Also, did you get checked for Lynch Syndrome?

[@PinkCandiez]

@@sparrowswift1837 Hi Sparrow swift, Sure I don't mind sharing my experience. I was also 34 when I was diagnosed with stage 1a Endometrial cancer. It was a mental shock and I couldn't process the news when the doctors told me , but luckily I caught it early like your fiance. My oncologist performed total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix). Due to surgical menopause I was put on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which helps balance my estrogen hormones, alleviate menopausal symptoms, reduce the risk of heart attacks and osteoporosis. After my surgery my doctor ordered a genetic test called Microsatellite Instability Test (MSI), which test to see if I had any hereditary cancer genes found specially HNPCC or lynch syndrome, as you mentioned. It takes a mental and physical toll on your body, but time does heal the wounds.After surgery your body will hurt and daily movements; getting out of bed, sitting up , standing up will be a challenge so your fiance will need assistance. I felt better in about 1 month and took over the counter pain medicine after surgery. I didn't want to take medical grade pain killers. I was really lucky to have a supportive husband and your fiance is lucky to have you. It is really important to have a strong loving support system, from partners, friends, and/or family. Tips for recovering after surgery: 1. A heating pad - helps and soothe stomach pains and aches 2. A healthy diet for speedy recovery (bone broth, protein (fish, chicken, etc), yogurt or any fermented vegetables, and salads) 3. Extra pillows to elevate your legs to prevent blood clots. 4. Laugher and a positive attitude - You are beautiful and awesome! You'll beat cancer! I hope you find this helpful. You both got this! Best of luck!

[@clareyoung7380]

I’d love if you could share your story. I’m waiting on biopsy results at 34 but CA is suspected. There is so little info re pre menopausal women

[@PinkCandiez]

@@clareyoung7380 Hi Clare, I hope you are doing well. Sure I can. I experienced unusual fatigue, irregular bleeding, and lower abdominal pain when I was 34. Initially, I thought it was due to starting a new birth control, but my energy levels weren't normal, so I consulted my gynecologist. Despite being told I was healthy, I persisted in expressing my concerns. Eventually, I was referred to a specialist who discovered that my uterine lining was unusually thick during a hysteroscopy and sonohysterogram. Following further evaluation, including surgery to remove polyps and a uterine lining biopsy, I received the diagnosis of stage 1a uterine cancer. It was surprising for my gynecologist, as I was her first cancer patient and being 34 was considered young. My experience taught me the importance of being proactive in our health, conducting thorough research, and advocating for ourselves with doctors. I hope my story can somehow assist you. Best of luck on your journey, and remember that you're young and strong, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way! *Sending you best of luck and Hugs!*

There is no test for endometrial cancer a Pap smear is for cervical cancer. It doesn’t detect endometrial cancer

[@MC-do4dw]

The first line of tests is an abdominal ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound. If the results are suspicious (like a thick lining of the uterus and/or polyp mass is found). After that the patient is sent to have a biopsy, and that is the only sure way to know if there is cancer. I was just diagnosed last month and the only symptom I had is spotting that only happened once. In the 2 ultrasound, my endometrium was thicker than what it’s supposed to be and a small mass was found. The biopsy then confirmed it. I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy later this March 2022. Every woman must “listen” to her own body and advocate for her own health because sometimes the doctor do not really listen or just brush the symptoms we tell them. Bottom line is we know our bodies best, and don’t stop until you get the right diagnosis (the sooner the better). Hope this info helps!

@@MC-do4dw Hi can you tell me how thick your endometrium was? I have had all the symptoms and just had an ultrasound and mine was 9mm with calcifications. I also have swollen lymph nodes all over and lost 35 pounds in 3 months. I am beyond scared!

I have been bleeding for 45 days and the uterus lining came out thick even after bleeding heavily for 45 days. I gave birth 5 months ago aswell. Is anyone else experiencing the same.

[@purplekiss48]

Hi, when I had my baby in January 2021, I bled for almost 7 months. In July 2022, my cycle came on 3 times in the mont and after my transvaginal ultrasound, I was told yesterday by my OB told me they found a polyp in my uterus and have to get it checked out. I'm scared but I need my peace of mind to ensure that everything is fine.

My endometrial thickness is 12mm. I am 67 years old. Please let me know if it is a problem.

[@starblane1023]

I have excruciating pain every month on my period but they say I have fibroids and every person I know that have the same thing don't have pain only heavy bleeding I have back pain excruciating craps leg pain my uterus hurt I feel pressure heavy bleeding company with low energy every time I'm on my period I have headaches as well do fibroids cause these symptoms or could it be something else that I don't know about or both 🤔 I never had kids before. I never got pregnant before and I'm 38 years old and in the past I have had difficulties getting pregnant until I found out that Fibroids was the cause of it but I do have hair on my face like I'm growing hair on parts of my body that shouldn't be there🤔

Is Endometriosis not a risk factor?

How is EIN related to this?

Has anyone read that having a hysterescopy +D&C can cause the spread of endometrial cancer? Through bringing cells out?

[@lindsaybell1187]

Yes, I have.

[@nanananatalied]

A woman who died of it made a video saying it made hers spread. I'm nervous to have my d&c because of her warning. I've had 2 negative biopsies so I'm hoping it's just severe hyperplasia and won't spread. I don't want a hysterectomy because I want to have great orgasms for the rest of my life and the uterus is involved. Female medicine is in the stone ages. I also don't want my bladder to fall out. I tick nearly all the boxes for type 1. This video explained to me why my doctor is convinced I have cancer despite two ( super painful) biopsies being good. I hope I hust get progesterone even though it makes me gain weight.
