They are saying that now that the tumor is out i shouldn't be having pelvic pain or lower back pain, not being hungry or eating a little a feeling full. I agree Quite a few are much more manageable but they are not gone. And dr. Told me today it's likely I will have same isses when surgery is done.

Are doctors attributing your symptoms to endometrial issues?

It's understandable to feel frustrated when symptoms aren't being taken seriously. Endometrial cancer has specific symptoms that doctors should investigate thoroughly, especially if you're experiencing them.

The most common symptoms include:
* Abnormal vaginal bleeding (heavier periods, bleeding between periods, or any bleeding after menopause)
* Abnormal vaginal discharge
* Pelvic pain or a lump in your lower abdomen
* Unintended weight loss
* Difficulty or pain with urination or bowel movements
* Lower back pain

If you're experiencing these symptoms and feel they're being dismissed, it's important to advocate for yourself. You have the right to request further testing, such as imaging or a biopsy, which is the only definitive way to diagnose endometrial cancer.

Getting a second opinion is completely reasonable and common with cancer concerns. Different doctors may have different approaches, and finding one who takes your symptoms seriously is crucial for your care.

Trust your instincts about your body. If something feels wrong, keep pushing for answers until you feel heard and confident in your diagnosis and treatment plan.
