It is important for you to have honest, open discussions with your physician.
You should ask questions, no matter how trivial you may think they are. Some questions to consider:
-
What type and grade of endometrial cancer do I have?
-
Has my cancer spread beyond the uterus?
-
What is the stage of my cancer and what does that mean in my case?
-
What treatments are appropriate for me? What do you recommend? Why?
-
What should I do to be ready for treatment?
-
What risks or side effects should I expect?
-
What are the chances of recurrence of my cancer with the treatment programs we have discussed?
-
Should I follow a special diet?
-
Will I be able to have children after my treatment?
-
What is my expected prognosis, based on my cancer as you view it?
-
Does this cancer prevent me from considering estrogen-replacement therapy?
