Could Check Up After Surgery For Endometrial Cancer Showing Some Cells Not Being Right Mean Recurred Cancer?
I had endometrial cancer with surgery on April 12th, 2013. The doctor said that everything looked good. Today I received a phone call that my pap test taken on Nov 5th was a concern. Some cells not right. Does this always mean that the cancer is back. She also said something about the wrong button was pushed on getting the results back to me sooner.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Endometrial cancer is cancer of any aspect of the uterus.
Pap smears look for changes in the cervix , a different area, it does not indicate that you have a recurrence of endometrial cancer. An abnormal pap smear is not necessarily cancerous but may indicate that there are early changes that need treatment.
I hope this helps
