endometriosis / cancer?
I am 77 years old. I went to the dr with bleeding.. The biopsy was negative. They did a D&C, and said they found atypical cells and a few well differentiated adenocarcinoma cells. Is a hysterectomy the only treatment, and how long can you wait before you have to get it. They also said it was stage 0.

I am not a medical professional, so consider this accordingly. You might consider discussing this with your OBGYN. You need more information than what is given here to weigh the consequences of different treatment approaches. A hysterectomy is probably the safest treatment, but maybe the cancer could be treated by chemotherapy or hormone therapy, or if it takes a long time to advance, maybe it doesn't even need to be treated at all. I suspect that a hysterectomy is the only practical treatment.
You can't predict with any accuracy how quickly the cells might spread, but it commonly takes about 5 years before the cells advance from stage 0 to the point where they start to invade the uterus and develop tumors. However, the time for any given individual could be much shorter or longer. There might not be much risk in monitoring this for a year to see what happens, but you might not gain any information that will make your decision any easier.
Discuss with your doc the pros and cons of monitoring the cells, undergoing a treatment other than a hysterectomy, and if there is anything to be gained by postponing treatment.

Try this diet, cures ALL cancers www.hacres.com
If you want to know what causes cancer I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of a book called "The China Study", this will give you all the answers you need concerning cancer and every other disease. After you read this book you will know exactly what causes cancer!
Its the number one selling book on health and nutrition and there's a very good reason for that. The book is very well written and easy to understand, best of all you can buy a used one for 10 bucks!!!!! It's the best and smartest 10 bucks you'll ever spend!
The book is based on the largest biomedical study ever conducted in the history of mankind. The study involved over 880,000,000 people (almost a billion), almost all the people in China at that time.
The Premier of China at the time Chou En Lai was dying of bladder cancer before his death he proclaimed that he would find the cause of cancer........ and guess what he did just that.
The study showed one very important fact, that genetics is not the cause of cancer.
They saw that two groups of people with the same genetics had totally different cancer rates. One group had almost zero risk of cancer while the other one that was genetically identical had very high rates, similar to the high rates here in the united states.
They found that the poor farm workers living out in the rural areas that were very poor and could only afford to eat the vegetables they grew and could not afford to grow or buy animal products ( fish, beef , chicken, eggs) had an almost zero risk of cancer!
ZERO RISK OF CANCER!!!!
On the other hand the affluent Chinese living in the cities that could afford to buy whatever food their taste buds desired had VERY high rates of cancer, same high rates that we have here in the united states. This group ate a high meat and highly processed diet just like we do here, very similar to the SAD diet (Standard American Diet).
So we figured out the cause of cancer back in the 70's when this huge study took place, yet so many people are still in the dark about the origin of cancer.
Here's the book on amazon, read the reviews too and see what people are saying about this amazing life changing book:

Another great place to go is this site ww.hacres.com, they have tons of great info and best of all it's all FREE. This site will teach you which foods cause cancer and which foods cure cancer (and every other disease). Check out the thousands of testimonies on the website they speak for themselves.
If you have cancer this diet will cure it!
I've personally studied health and nutrition as a hobby for over 30 plus years in an effort to cure my own ailments (which I've done) and to help others do the same. In those 30 plus years there's one truth that always comes to light, an 80-100% raw vegan diet CURES disease. I have not seen or heard of a more powerful tool than a vegan raw food diet.
If you really want to know the truth about cancer and it's origin, I promise the information I've shared above will get you there.
Oh and keep in mind breast cancer rates have increased 600X in the past 55 years, we are unfortunately not wining the war on cancer. Ask yourself this: has human genetics changed that much in just 55 years?
Hope this helps
