Cancer Survivors Network

Hi, I was just reading all the responses to 'worried' about the lower back and abdominal pain, and saw how consistently we seem to be experiencing this. I'm NOT on tamoxifen, cos I started it but became dreadfully depressed and had to come off it. Then, shortly after the sort of menstrual cramping feelings began (I'm 57 and very post menopausa)l, my doc ordered a paptest just as a matter of routine. It came back showing 'highly atypical endometrial cells' those being from the lining of the uterus. A biopsy and d and c later, my doc and the gynaecologist found they still didnt have a good enough tissue sample, but that, in itself, suggested no cancer. As a final precaution I am having a pelvic ultrasound Mar 27. Interestingly, the pain diminished considerably following the partial d and c, which was only done to get tissue for a biopsy, and I now feel fine. So is it the chemo that upsets our systems? I did have bad constipation when on the tamoxifen, but that went away when I quit the tamoxifen. anyway, I will be interested to check back here when we've all had our various tests. Love Susan
