Just heard the news that Dixie Carter died of uterine cancer. Very sad! The article did not say what type or how long she had been fighting the cancer.

Hi I am new to this board but have been on the breast cancer board for a while. I had a pelvic and vaginal ultrasound 2 years ago due to heavy bleeding.

Had my Oct. 2008 hysterectomy slides re-evaluated: Now I'm in SHOCK!!
This certainly shows how "iffy" cancer pathology analysis must be! After my UPSC Stage III-c recurred, and I'd finished 10 rounds of weekly taxol, I got a clean CT/PET and was allowed to take a chemo break even though my CA125 was slightly elevated (CA125 was 142.) So we made a plan that I would come in for another CA125…

rise in CA 125 during chemo treatments
Hi There, So, my mom just had her 6th infusion of weekly carbo/taxol. She gets her blood drawn each time but our medical oncologist doesnt seem to always want to share the CA 125 number. Three weeks ago it was at 201, two weeks ago it was at 204, skipped last week and today he said it was still in the 240 range. I know…

I am a 36 yeard old mom of five boys and I have had irregular periods for the last year and a half. My period would start off very heavy for 2-3 days with big clots and then just be black sludge for the last two days. Bad cramping and bleeding so heavy at first that I would go through one super tampon every 20-30 minutes…

It doesn't seem possible coming from a diagnosis of Stage IIIC Figo Grade 2, but I got a nod from my Onc/Gyn doc that I am in remission. (My diagnosis, and treatments are posted in my bio) He said I don't have to come back for 3 months unless I exhibit symptoms like vaginal bleeding and the like. I am thrilled and at the…

Has anyone used Sutent
We are running out of options for me. My doctor is suggesting we go outside the box a bit and try Sutent, which has worked to stop other cancers but is not approved for uterine cancer. So my insurance company won't pay for it and a month's supply is a couple thousand US$. I told him I could afford one month and that would…
