Thank you ladies for your kind replies. Just come back from having the scan so now have to sit and wait for all the results. Finally plucked up the courage yesterday to phone the specialist nurse and ask some questions, ie what type of tumour, how big was it, and she is on holiday until 1st August and although the message said someone is manning her phone no one has got back to me yet. So Taz, I don't know if it is the type of cancer to which you refer. CLKD, yes I do still have a uterus. I know it was only two weeks ago I received the diagnosis but oh dear time hangs heavy for me and my family
