After more than 3 years of irregular periods and spotting, I was finally diagnosed with Stage 2 Grade 2 Endometrial Cancer after a radical hysterectomy. The pathology report states no LVSI, less than 50 % invasion of the uterus, type 1, mostly grade 1 cancer cells but with some grade 2 cancer cells, extension to cervix about 4mm invasion. As the biospy before hysterectomy suggested it was grade 1, type 1 only, no MRI was performed. No lumph nodes were tested during the hysterectomy. I am now arranged to have 23 rounds of external radiotherapy n 3 rounds of internal radiotherapy. My worry is: how would it be sure that it is only Stage 2 but not Stage 3c if the lymph nodes were not checked? I am going to start the radiotherapy in January, should I have a PET scan? Are there ways to ascertain my lymph nodes status at this moment?
