Trigeminal Neuralgia
Has anyone heard of Trigeminal Neuralgia? My mom has Endometrial Papilarry Serous Cancer. She started as a stage 3b and they rediagnosed her to stage 1c. She had complete hysterectomy, 4 rounds of chemo. She had a catscan and was said to be cancer free. Yeah! She is now continuing with three month checkups. Well, my mom…
How many radiation sessions did you get?
It's funny. From everything I've seen, everyone gets 25 radiation treatments. My 25th time will be this Thursday. Now my radiologist is telling me that my treatment was, "25 then reevaluate."

Putting us on a map. And giving the stage you were diagnosed with as some are doing now.
Could each of you write the area or the town, and state you live in so we can get a feel for how spread out or close we are to one another? Would be a real shame if some of us live in the same town and don't know it. Some of you have added your stage. GREAT IDEA! The year and month you were first diagnosed, if this is a…
