    Hi ladies. Im trying to get my head around the fact that my mum has told me she had an abnormal pap smear result... It came up as "atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance"

    Her specialist thinks there's a high possibility of endometrial cancer, as her blood test for cancer markers came back high (not sure of exact numbers)

    The specialist oncologist gynae told her to expect lots of testing, including another pap smear which she has already had and lots more bloods. They are also booking her in for a d&c and going to take biopsies at the same time. They told her to prepare to have a hysterectomy.

    What is happening to my Mum? What's the survival rate if she does have confirmed endometrial cancer?
    Im absolutely crushed with the news. I only heard today.

    Any positive stories?

    Thanks
    My mum who is 70yrs old was dx with endometrial ca in her uterus and she had to have 4 treatment of radioation within her as in the knocked her out and inserted these radioactive rod things into her ...zapped the ca took the rods out all under GA at the Peter Mac Hospital (she couldnt have a hyster as she had other medical conditions that made her at a higher risk of dying on the table .. and she is fine Ca has gone and she has nothing anywhere else in her system .... so chin up it doesnt have to be doom and gloom but i say that with lots of respect for you as it is bloody scary x
