claudia--a couple questions.....
hi claudia, i. too, sometimes forget who i've said what to, or where i've read what. i do remember now, however, that you said after your surgery two nodes became enlarged (almost exactly the size as mine), but stopped growing once you started your tumeric/ginger/green tea, etc., routine, which is what i'm hoping will…

Question about what to wash my head with
I am just 1 week past my 2nd chemo of carbo/taxol. Most of my hair was coming out so I had my husband shave my head. I now have just short stubble but for some reason I am developing a rash on my head. I have not changed the soap I use so I am wondering what might be causing the rash. Could it be a side affect of the…

A 2nd SURGERY doubles survival time in recurrent endometrial cancer, study shows
If you have a recurrence of uterine cancer and there's any way they can completely cut out the new cancer, it sounds like your life span is SIGNIFICANTLY longer (DOUBLED +) than if you just have chemo to knock it back, according to this article from 2006: Salvage cytoreductive surgery for recurrent endometrial cancer…

Sensitive subject
I will be finishing up radiation next week and have done my research about how to prevent vaginal narrowing. I had planned on having regular intercourse with my partner, but unexpectedly last weekend he broke up with me. Now I have to contemplate the vaginal dilator route. My questions: does the rad/onc office provide the…

I just completed 17 miles at the ACS 24-hour Relay For Life fundraiser in La Jolla, CA! One mile for every year of living with cancer. Cancer Survivors Fight Back!!! ;-) And, I'm currently in chemo for a recurrence - this week was my week off between treatments, lol. Annie
Did anyone have this post hysterectomy
I had my radical hyterectomy and removal of some lymph nodes back end of March 2010, and I have three chemos under my belt. I still have some puffiness on my lower left side post surgery. I always ask my surgeon (who is also my oncologist) about it at each visit and he presses on it and so forth and tells me it is fine and…
CT Scans and Barium
When I was having CT Scans every three months for the first year, I found that I had severe almost incapacitating reaction to the barium swallow. I talked to the radiologist about this and she said she could use Omnipaque which is a solution they use in IV contrast. They mix it with fruit juice and you don't even taste it,…
Wellness - something to think about
Today I enjoyed the company of some very awesome women. We started with yoga at a member's beautiful and nurturing home. We spent time talking and sharing about ourselves and our lives. We hung out in the pool and shared our intentions and made plans to help each other with our separate dreams. Without this cancer journey…
Avoiding crowds-how much of a hermit do you have to be with chemo and radiation
I am on my 9th day post my 3rd chemo. Do I need to be avoiding crowds? I pretty much live like a hermit. I see my boyfriend, and I only go to stores usually during day-have been out to eat just a couple of times. Would it be bad to go to an adult league sport event game (of my boyfriend) or see a band at this time? Too…
3rd chemo was last week-and first appt with radiology doc this Tuesday
Well, I had my third chemo a week ago yesterday, and I am scheduled to meet with my radiology doctor on this Tuesday 6/29. I assume it is to begin talking about the process for the radiation. I am on the sandwich therapy program-3 chemos/25 radiations/3 chemos. I am nervous about the radiation part-although I have heard…

Has anyone ever had chemotherapy because of UPSC that metasticized to the lung? My 77 year old mother was diagnosed in 2008, had 2 series of radiaton and chemo.

F-4 tornado Update
Just a update for all of you that have e-mailed me asking if we made it through the F-4 Wadena Mn. tornado. Yes, but we lost much of our crop, fences, a roof, the siding on our house, and more precious... trees. (lost so many when we were hit in 2005 too!) That is nothing compared to the 240+ homes and dozens of farms…
Sad Day
My mother, dearest of all people to me, got the results of Monday's CT scan. The "original" mass on her bladder, debulked 1/22/10, has doubled in size even through 4 courses of Ixempra. There are 2-3 new tumors. There is one last drug to try, but the tumor assay did not have a favorable response to anything. The doctor was…
RECENT CT...ANYONE HAVE THIS???
Had a ct with and without contrast last week and the results showed increase in the size and numberof lymph nodes in the mesenteric area, but were not patholigic, according to the radiatiologist.
