in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1
Well ladies, on October 4th I had a CT scan done. I was really nervous about this CT scan since my last scan was November of 2010 and I was to have another scan done in June. So it was almost 11 months. But as some of you know, I changed insurance companies and my new company wont accept my doctor in network or approve PET scans. Because I was starting to experience some problems which I thought at first was food poisoning (stomach cramps, pains, and vomiting), but then it happened two more times within five weeks, and a pain I had in my back rib cage (although I had injured it several times as a child), I was nervous about this CT scan. And the fact that my surgery in February of 2010, although nothing was found, except one lymph node which was removed that showed micrscopic cells.

Because October 10 there was no mail, I didn't think anything of it, but called the imaging department who assured me that they sent my doctor a report and that they should of had it by this date. Well I never heard anything. I was getting nervous so I called my doctor today who indicated they never received the report. So now I am real nervous again. Anyway, I obtained a copy of the report.

Good news: No evidence of metastatic disease!

Also, ladies, it was six years ago this month that I had my staging surgery. That staging surgery didn't reveal anything else other than what the hysterectomy revealed that September in 2005. Grade 2, Stage iiia endometrial adenocarcinoma

So I am celebrating today of 6 years with a great CT scan report.


(((Hugs))) to all.

Kathy

    Dance the happy dance of NED...enjoy life as it's great!!!

    Ditto. I think it's one of the lasting effects and I have no change after 4 years! Was sent for a colonoscopy a year ago to be on the safe side, all clear. There are some veges and foods I have to avoid.
