My surgeon told me they would do a 'frozen section'. For those of you that don't know this, a pathologist gets a section of the uterus, does a quick biopsy and tells the surgeon whether he sees cancer in THIS section of tissue. If he does then the surgeon proceeds to the next step which would have been lymph node biopsy. If negative, they finish up and you are on your way out the door.

So the day after my surgery, he comes and sits on my bed...I just hate it when a docotr sits on your bed, what bed had ne been sitting on right before he came to your room, what germs...anyway he tells me that frozen section was negative and see me in 6 weeks.

So all my family have been asking me what the pathology was. You have to remember that my sister had jsut had extensive breast cancer surgery and we are all on pins and needles. So i decide to call surgeons office and ask them. I get to talk to his nurse and she tells me the pathology was cancer!!!!! She says it's encapsulated, which is very good.

So was this guy who I thought was a reallly nice surgeon just going to wait until 6 weeks and then tell me it was surgery? What happened to the lymph node biopsy? Is there going to be anything done for staging since there were no lymph nodes removed?

So I think I am going to call his office on Monday and ask to see him before the 6 weeks check up to get this report. Of course on Monday they start the remodel on my family room and there goes my sleeping hours
