Not Clear: 41 y/o says if a doctor says they found cancer on my womb and they need to remove them. Does this mean i have cancer? Not clear. One should ask her Doctor for more details about the cancer- type, location... Also did one have symptoms before seeing the Dr. Was it Routine Pap? Other issues like chronic Infection should also be considered. When in doubt get 2nd opinion from Specialist- Gynecologist

Likely...but: The information provided is not clear. Was this a pap smear or an endometrial biopsy. Pap smears have been done for decades & allow early treatment & possible cure of cervical cancer before it progresses. Endometrial cancer is different, but a comparatively non invasive cancer that is also curable. I consider this a good pick up & reason for you to follow your doctors advice.
