Uterine Cancer Questions?


Do any of you know anything about uterine cancer?

One of my good friends has just been diagnosed and I am trying to find out as much as I can so that I can be well informed as she battles this disease.

All I know is that they have caught it early, she meets with a gynecologist oncologist next week and she will have to undergo a complete hysterectomy. She is 44 years old and has never been married or had children.

All answers are very much appreciated!

There are many good online informative resources online. What you might need to know though is the exact type of uterine cancer your friend has . . there are several types including Endometrial cancers and Uterine sarcoma. You can start at the National Cancer Institute to read more:

NCI: Endometrial Cancer

NCI: Uterine Sarcoma

You can also find information from the online support groups where there are other patients, friends, family, caregivers all asking and sharing information.
