Endometriosis and symptoms 79 years old

I have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer but don't know how many other things it has affected. i am 70 years old and have terrible back, pelvic and leg pain that has gotten worse over the past 2 weeks. I have pelvic pressure and am very tired. I am losing weight quickly when it is usually hard for me to lose weight. I had one episode of lite bleeding and a clot I had CT ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis and it only showed endo thickness of 6mm. Has anyone else had these symptoms and does this mean the cancer has spread all over?

What was the Figo score of your biopsy or D&C that gave you your diagnosis?

Does it say for example "Figo 1 endometriod carcinoma" anywhere in your biopsy report? That will tell you a lot.

After the diagnosis we start feeling everything every twinge I was convinced cancer was spreading all over in the six weeks between my DNC report of cancer and my hysterectomy, but it did not spread all over and I also lost weight because I was a nervous wreck pre-op.

Hang in there, the days leading up to true surgery are the worst days... all the uncertainty.

I don't know my Figo score. I do not know what that is. I am so in the dark on all this. Sometimes I think the pain is my back or hip but then the cramps and pains start and I am thinking the worst. I am eating less becausexI am a nervous wreck about all this
Did you turn out ok?

I lost weight between biopsy and surgery too. Stress is a heck of a diet aid., But I had no appetite .
