Large Masses On Cervix, Lymph Nodes Were Big. Freeze Test Is Negative. Family History Of Uterine Cancer.
Hello, i just had a total hysterectomy done. My Dr was surprised to find that my uterus was 4xs the normal size. There wer large masses on my cervix, and in his words "they looked funky" he had the pathalogist flash freeze test them, those were negative. He also found that all the lymph nodes were big on both sides, so he also removed them and sent those in for testing. I am 41 yrs old and have a family history of uterine cancer, including sarcoma, which my 33yr old sister past away from just last year in January. I just don't know if i should be concerned

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
some of Uterine malignancies run in families. As your Hysterectomy is done, Wait for histopathology report, Depending on that further action needs to be taken.Family history of uterine cancer is a risk factor And also get your breast examined for any lumps or change in consistency.
Hope this helps you
