Re: Increased risk for endometrial cancer

I'm glad you received some answers. It sounds like you have a wonderful doctor that is taking good care of you.

I have a friend who has ovarian cancer and I was really frightened at the thought of having cancer there. Breast cancer really isn't that bad when found early. I was quite happy to have something growing for once - that was benign!

I think your body is just confused . . . now what am I supposed to be doing? Aging gracefully, or preparing for the next generation. Hmmmmm . . . .

Let me just warn you how painful those biopsies can be, at the very least take some Tylenol. Better yet, discuss it with your doctor and see if she can offer something even better.

Her2 mets to the uterus are quite rare. It is very unlikely that you would have one. It is more likely a little post menopausal confusion after your body has recovered from chemopause.

Your GYN is on top of the situation, but it sounds like an abundance of good caution.
