Diagnosis

So today was my first appointment with my oncologist.
First things first, my doctor is great, very optimistic and informative, as well as understanding.
So basically, NOT CANCER, well not yet.
 It has about a 40%-50% chance of becoming cancer. So I'm high risk of getting cancer. It's called advanced complex  hyperplasia and endometrial atypia. Essentially it's still precancerous. We're going to be treating it FIRST with hormone replacement. In about 2, I'll be getting a device implanted in my uterus. I'll be part of a clinical trial to see if this helps stop the growth of the precancerous cells. If that doesn't work, we will proceed with the full hysterectomy. So basically I'm going through treatment to keep it from becoming cancer.
