Hi. I have joined this forum for my wife. I think she will join in the discussion eventually but now it is just me. My wife, Cathy, was diagnosed with Uterine cancer the week after thanksgiving. We initially went to our internist a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and he sent her directly to a gynecologist. A biopsy and…
DOUG & BETTY: Thinking about you. Everything okay?
You were on my mind tonight. I feel we may have collectively overwhelmed you. Betty has been on my mind (and in my prayers). If you two want to contact me off-board, I will post my email address; just ask. I hope you are both at home now and that Betty is feeling stronger every day. (((Big hugs)))
Switching from Cisplatin to Carbo/Taxol
Hello Ladies... Now that my Radiation is wrapping up (Praise the Lord and may my bowels come back to normal), my next Chemo protocol will likely be Carbo/Taxol. Can anyone share their experience of switching from one to another? Any differences in the reaction? Also, is one stronger than another?? I like to know what I am…
Bowel issues
Hi, I am new to this group- just found it yesterday. I wish I had found it months ago as there is lots of good advice. I have stage 4B uterine cancer. Had a complete hysterectomy in December after 8 chemo rounds that did nothing to shrink the cancer. Complications ensued after the surgery and the cancer has grown to at…
Update on reoccurrence of UPSC
I haven't posted in a long time, but wanted to let everyone know that for now I am NED. I hesitate to get to excited as it seems my Dr. thinks it will show itself again. Just as a reminder of my story I had it first in 2006 and it returned in early 09 in my lungs. I got the same round of Taxol/carbolatium that I got in 06…

Getting 2nd opinions from other oncologists outside of your health care plan
I really like that we can all help each other out by asking our oncologists for opinions on questions others raise on this forum. I've thought it might be worth paying for an oncologist who specializes in uterine cancer to get a 2nd opinion from (there are no gyn cancer oncologists where I'm being treated). If I did that,…
Facing radical hysterectomy and possible uterine cancer
Hi all: Not only am I new to this site but am also not a huge user of discussion boards so forgive me if I don't do everything correctly. I am a breast cancer survivor (15 years) but am now facing a complete hysterectomy because it seems I have uterine cancer. We aren't sure because the cervical biopsy could not be…
Does it matter who the chemo doctor is?
Hi There, I hope all is well! I'm here with my mom at the UCSF Medical Center. She had her "take it all out-ectomy" on Monday and is doing really well! We are sitting here discussing with the doctor where we would like her to receive her chemo. Here is the problem- we are from a small town about 2 hours from San Francisco…
Uterine Carcinosarcoma, any survivors out there?
Hi everyone, My mom was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma in Dec '08, she had a total hysterectomy and removal of pelvic lymph nodes (cancer was found there). Since then has done chemo and radiation, finishing in the summer of '09. She's doing ok now, but I was just wondering if there was anyone out there with a similar…
finished chemo, not sure about doing radiation.....
I have Stage 3C Grade 4, clear cell uteran cancer. My oncologists say I have a 50% chance of survival of 2 yrs. Obviously, I dont want to be that statistic, however, if my time is short, my quality of life is a large consideration. I made it through chemo. I have alot of pain, fatique & a host of other symptons that they…
Can anyone see my new photo with my cheap $44 new internet-purchased wig?
I never know if I've gotten the photo change right and then days later I see that I actually did get it to upload. I just wanted to share a photo I took of my new super-cheap $39 ($44 with shipping) wig I bought online. It was one of those spontaneous purchases that I immediately regretted, a wig on clearance. But it came…
