Probably an oldie...
and has probably been posted before, but I love this saying and I am going to tape it to my bathroom mirror just so I will be reminded everyday: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's learning how to dance in the rain. Love,love, Cecile
burning at the end of urination: recurrence or radiation damage?
My mom has 4 days now that complains of some burning sensation at the end of urination. She does not have frequent urination to suggest infection. I wonder if any of you are aware of this symptom as a sign of recurrence or radiation damage.
Endometrial Biopsy
Just joined your group - maybe a little prematurely. Had an edometrial biopsy yesterday and am obviously quite anxious. My last period was October 2009 and then started bleeding about three weeks ago and is more than spotting.....Am curious to know what took others to the doctor - especially if it was bleeding, how long…
Endometrial Advocacy Group
Good morning! I am returning from California; I went to the Rose Parade, saw my daughters, and celebrated New Year's in sunny California. My first trip after treatment; and I did it! I am getting home and sorting email. I called Marsh Wilson at 301-332-0117 (mwilson@the gcf.org). She is interested in feed back from us and…
Had my 5th (11th?) chemo today & REASSURING review of my 'symptoms'.
I came home from my 5th weekly taxol infusion for my recurrance today, and climbed right into bed for 2 hours to sleep off the benedryl they give me as a part of my chemo cocktail. Now the steroids will take over and I will be up all night, so I like to get the sleep ahead of that. Vic and I watched 'Taking Woodstock' when…
groin pain
Has anyone had groin pain on both sides after radiation both 25 external and brachy. Doc said probably arthritic pain going into the inguoinal groin area. Scans were negative. Surgery- Davinci one year ago and radiation done May. Nothing else but just wondering. Thanks
Dr appt toorrow due to spotting blood
It's been 3 months since my surgery and last night I had some spotting with blood. First thing this morning I called my gyn/onc for an appoitment. I go tomorrow morning at 10:45. My question is can this be caused by anything else? I do get UTI's but I don't think that I have one. What happened is my and my husband had sex…
newbornbunny's post: scar tissue "growth"
(I took the liberty of moving this forward - I hope you don't mind. It was buried in the middle of a huge thread. Just a reminder to all - I think it's best to post at the end of the thread otherwise your message can be easily missed.) newbornbunny January 2, 2010 - 1:19pm scar tissue "growth" It's been six weeks since I…
possible mets to the brain
In the case of mets to the brain, conventional therapy would be something I would strongly consider in that situation. Even if I wasn't fond of chemo or radiation therapy. some times you really have to go for the gold. Claudia
doctors' prognosis
Ladies, I've been pondering this for the last few days - thinking of the posts from Cathy and Linda. You know, my gut tells me that some docs tell us what we want to hear (or maybe what they want to believe/hear!!) and others tell it like it is. I remember what my first doc told me out upsc - "it's incurable but manageable…

alternative vs. western medicine
Since this seems to be a hot topic, Does anyone know if there's any research that compares results of alternative versus western medicine for treatment of aggressive cancers?
This drug trial for recurrent ovarian cancer is over.
Since ovarian cancer is a serous and the separate arm of the uterine was determined til the mid eighties, I'm putting the link to information on this trial. It is my understanding that once you have gone through chemo/raditation, you are eligible to take drugs that might not yet have FDA approval for the cancer you have.…
NED
I had my open abdomen hysterectomy on December 29, 2009. Can hardly believe tomorrow is 2010 and get this. All biopsies came back with NED - No evedince of disease. The Pathologists even went BACK to the origial biopsy of the endometrium to verify that there were cancer cells there, and there were definitely Papillary…
