Diagnosed Endometrial Cancer, Total Hysterectomy Scheduled. Lost Both Parents To Cancer. Expectation After Surgical Removal?

Hi...First, thank you for being here. I just learned 4 days ago that I have endometrial cancer, and I will be scheduled for a total hysterectomy. Having lost both parents to cancer, needless to say, I'm quite frightened. I've had a C-section (20 years ago). What can I expect for surgical removal and what may follow?

Hi..
Thanks for the query and sorry for being diagnosed with cancer...
The prognosis depends on the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis...
If the carcinoma is confined to endometrium itself the prognosis is better after the surgery...
Radiation therapy may be required if there is any spread of the cancer cells beyond uterine wall..
Don't be scared.. Have a positive thought always..
Discuss with your treating doctor in detail about the staging..
All the best.. Take care..Will be available for further queries..
