Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial Cancer is the quandary that I am looking to help conquer.I happen to be one of those people when faced with a problem I looked to find answers. My latest is to find as much information on Endometrial Cancer which has made its way into my life. The first thing that I have learned is to dig deep down for my strength weakness at this point is not an option. Per my daughter Joi after she gave me a hug “if you are emotional imagine how the person who is going through the issue is feeling!” She is right I am not the one diagnosed I am on the sideline so it is my job to be strong, cheer them on when needed, hold their hand, whip away tears and just listen when needed. I am the support system for my love one as they go through the toughest point in life so far.

What is Endometrial Cancer it is formed in the tissue lining of the uterus that begins in the cells that make and release mucus and other fluids. Scare fact the estimated new cases and deaths from endometrial cancer in the US in 2012 per the National Cancer Institute:

New Cases: 47,130 and Deaths: 8,010

Common Symptoms of Uterine Cancer is as follows:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding, spotting or discharge

These are symptoms that should be brought to your doctor’s attention so that you can be properly diagnosed even if it is not uterine cancer it still needs to be treated properly. My journey started with such sites as http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/endometrial.
