I do hope you all are doing as well as can be expected. I am two weeks post hysterectomy. Was told cancer at my one week follow up.
I am five years post menopause. Had some bleeding and after a long while and a lot of biopsies, high grade cells and HPV + my gyn and I decided to do hysterectomy. Apparently, the cancer was hiding? I will see the oncologist next week. I had to have an outright fit on the phone with the drs office to get my path report and thats how I found the stage and all the other info.
Im mortified. Path states tumor to be grade 3. not a large one at 2cm. but, its poorly differentiated and staged at 1b1. I had no lymph nodes taken but the report says negative for lymphovasuclar invasion yet positive for perineural invasion. My gyn said she isnt familiar with that, says thats new to her.. great! Path also states that the margins are clear BUT with less than 0.1cm clearence.
Right now I am finding it hard to slow my mind. I cant sleep, hardly any appetite. I think Im just depressed. Im sure I will at least have radiation. which scares me anyway. But I guess I'll do what I have to do.
Any info or encouragment is so greatly appreciated!
