Symptoms after second chemo-would appreciate feedback from others
Hi everyone. After first chemo I had diareah for 3-4 days and then was ok-had the aches and pains, various symtoms-felt pretty good by second chemo which was one week ago today. After second chemo was very tired for a few days, but this time constipated. I am going now but still not normal. I started getting discomfort…
Soy Products??
I met with a nutritionist a few months ago and one thing she recommended was to avoid soy "powder". Claiming it's not good with female / hormone-based cancers and just not enough solid research out there, therefore, aire on side of caution. To be on safe side tells me to avoid powder, but can enjoy some small amounts of…
Working on Funding for Research for Serous Uterine Cancer (and the other rare uterine cancers)
I wrote my congressmen, senators about funding for our cancer. I also wrote Warren Buffet and then found Bill and Melinda Gates web site; they have funding for rare diseases so I wrote them too. I am going to try Michelle Obama and the NIH too. As I look at the research studies there just are not enough out there for us. I…
Radiation diet
I had my radiation "dress rehearsal" today & start the real deal tomorrow. I know that a low-fat, low-residue diet is recommended if diarrhea is a problem. Has anyone started the diet before the diarrhea starts? Do I eat this diet to prevent diarrhea or just to treat it? I asked my rad/onc RN today and she was a little…
First chemo today went well
Over all it was not a bad experience. The nurse did have some trouble putting the IV in and had to change arms that hurt quite a bit. Then the benadryl made me free anxious and a little high even 2 hours after she gave me it. They might lower the dosage next time I go at the end of June. Was a very long day from 9:00 a.m.…
my visit with my gny-onc this morning after first post treatment ct scan
sisters, my doctor checked out my scan and seemed quite unconcerned about my one slightly enlarged periaortic node, and said there were definitely a number of benign reasons why a node might become enlarged. (of course, i didn't think to ask, like what? at the time.) he also noted that several other nodes had decreased in…
Is anyone one on board a Jehovah Witness?
Would be happy to hear from you. June

I will be operated on in 2 weeks and have no idea how I will get to the hospital!
I am new to the area, I have been here for only 4 months and have no friends and my two family members don't drive. Is there anywhere I can call? I am on state insurance, andmy finances aren't too good either. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Question about first chemo treatment
I am having my first chemo treatment tomorrow morning. Carbo/Taxol (sp) I am wondering if this will be like a normal IV treatment in that you won't feel anything while its going in? I know some people have side effects right when the treatment begins and of course the side effects after the treatment. But is there anything…
