Any ideas? (vaginal adenocarcinoma - mets in lungs)
Hi all, If you have any ideas for me, please let me know. I have been very healthy my whole life (still feel good!), until a year ago when I was diagnosed with Stage 4b vaginal adenocarcinoma.

I thought I was done ...... ;(
I had my hysterectomy in Feb. Went through 25 treatments of radiation after, and thought I was "all clear".... Well my pap came back with abnormal cell readings, precancerous readings. So now I have to get more testing done (getting what they need from there) to see if it is precancerous cells. Dr says it may be false…

Fallopian tube - recently diagnosed
Hi all, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Sept. Found out when I developed fluid on my right lung (pleural effusion) that wasn't lung cancer. Many tests later and after a hysterectomy it turned out to be fallopian tube cancer. I'm 64, so I fit the profile, unlike some of you. I started chemotherapy yesterday - taxol,…

New.
Good morning everyone. I'm new here so I'm not sure where to start. I guess when it all started. When I was 23, in 2010, I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I had a pap. My paps had been abnormal for a while, but this time it was different. A colposcopy and biopsy confirmed carcinoma in situ. I was told not to worry and my…

I'm in the beginning of a series of not so good test results and procedures that are leading to more and more procedures. I want to know why, even though I've been very selective as to who to share this info with (my mother, fiance, and children), it's like it went in one ear and out the other.

Frequency of treatments question...
How do we know if we are given 30 treatments of radiation and really we only needed half that amount and now we have damage to other vital organs. We have to just trust the doctor right? But radiation is his business it's his way of making a living. So how do we know if the treatment is really necessary to be that long or…
