Uterine Cancer

I knew the results of my Ultrasound Pelvis was bad. I actually asked the Doctor if it is cancer. However, being doctors, they probably don't want to give me an answer unless they are 100% sure. So all they told me then was that the possibility of cancer is there but they will need me to undergo D&C and do a biopsy of the cell sample collected before they can be certain. 

I guessed I do know how bad my results were because I could sensed that the date and timing of my D&C was squeezed. KK actually did not have any availability until April. However my doctor pushed them and told them she will perform the op herself and which was why they managed to squeeze the date of my op into March. 

I went through the D&C and was scheduled to be back at KK two weeks later for the review of my results. However, I received a call from KK within the week to ask me back earlier, saying the doctor would like to discuss my results with me. This was a call that I had dreaded. I knew they would not have asked me to go back earlier unless it is bad news. After that call, I received sms from KK reminding me to go for some Diagnostic Imaging a day after my new review date. I was puzzled as I was quite certain I was not informed to do any Diagnostic Imaging at all. On the day of my review, KK called to remind me to fast for my MRI and CT Scan. Because I am supposed to go for MRI and CT Scan, I was quite sure that the results of my biopsy most probably mean I have cancer even before the review. 

I had hoped that I was wrong. Unfortunately, it was not the case. The doctor told me that based on the biopsy, it looks like it is Uterine Cancer at Stage 1. However, this was only based on 1 set of result that they had on hand. They would need me to do a MRI and CT Scan to confirm it had not spread to other parts of my body. 

I did my MRI and CT Scan the next day. The only thing I am hoping for now, is that the cancer cells are contained in my uterus and had not spread to other parts of my body. My biggest dread now, is how am I going to break the news to my parents. I have still not figure that out yet. Sigh...
