To Susafina
Sue: Happy holidays. Just curious.....I know you mentioned you are still waiting on your hemoglobin number to go up. What is your neutrophil count and WBC? Mine are so slow to come back. I go for another bloodtest this week. Sorry to hear your neuropathy is bothering you-I guess it just takes time. I have alittle bit of an…

scared....
I was officially diagnosed with Grade 1 uterine cancer. I am already scheduled for a total hysterectomy on 12/22/10. I just turned the big 40 and went and had my yearly check up. I told the doc about pain I was having. So he did a sonogram, then biopsy, two days later a D and C then three days later I get the call to…

Relax, smile and rent some Christmas feel good movie dvds
Everyone, Happy holidays to all my friends on the boards. You have all helped me a great deal this year, encouraging me at the beginning of the chemo process, even before radiation, letting me know you all did these same treatments, and so could I. I can't tell you how much it helped encourage me that maybe I could get…
Endometrial cancer 50% into myometrium
Hi, I am on third day post op recovering from radical hysterectomy (ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix). I still cannot quite believe that I have cancer. I have always been healthy. Never smoked or drank alcohol. Average weight but very stressed most of my life for various reasons.Started menses at 11 and…
newly diagnosed with serous carcinoma
Good Morning, On Tuesday I was diagnosed with high grade serous carcinoma after suffering with nebulous symptoms for months. I have yet to see a gynecological oncologist, but have appointments with two. One at a suburban hospital near my home and another at a leading university hospital in Philadelphia. As it is the…
Looking for others who may be survivors of leiomyoscarcoma of the uterus.
Hi... I was diagnosed with leiomyoscarcoma of the uterus in Sept of 2010. I had a complete hysterectomy, then 28 treatments of radiation to the pelvis. I know it's aggressive and that the statistics for survival is not good. Looking for others in the same situations.
MY TIME AT COMMMONWEAL CANCER HELP PROGRAM IN BOLINAS, CA
hi sisters, back from a week at commonweal, and it was truly amazing; too spiritual for my taste, but not offensive, and i could take what i wanted from it. no one was pushing anything, it's just their strong bent. i, for one, will never, ever experience cancer as a "gift", but maybe others have done, or do now. to give…

TO SHIRLEY 1941
Hi Shirley: I did read your last post but did not get a chance to respond to you. How you are still doing well. I have just completed my one year and I am having some pains in my abdomen. Doc says let's wait and see, he does not want to do a scan. So this is where I am right now. Sometimes I still get a little depressed…
WENT FOR ONE YEAR C-UP. DOC NO SCAN EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL HAVING ROVING PAINS IN STOMACH
Pap and pelvic exam no results one week ago. So I guess everything is okay. I mentioned to him that I have some belly pains and he said he would prefer not to do scan now. He examined me, my neck, abdomen and under arm. He said only if I find the pains most uncomfortable I should come and see him. So I am scheduled for…
Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone! My name is Shelly and I am new to the boards. I was newly diagnosed with uterine cancer this past Tuesday. I had a partial hysterectomy on 12/2/10 and my pathology reports came back with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. As my gynecologist did not know I had uterine cancer, he didn't do any staging. I have now…
HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE GERSON THERAPY?
I just saw a video on netflix regarding natural healing process called the Gerson Therapy. Does anyone know anything about this? Please let me know. Thanks. Hope everyone is enjoying each day. Love to all June.

Good news today as well!
Well I've been on Gemzar since early April '10 after trying Doxil out for a couple of months for a recurrence. Ca125 hit high of 658 in April, normal by end of June (30), better by end of July (15) along with clean CT scan, so I opted to take August off for vacation. Gyn-onc a little concerned with my decision and ordered…
Received good news today!
Reminder: Results of 6 weeks of carbo and 18 weeks of taxol protocol from April 28th to the end of August...profuse and numerous new tumor growth throughout my abdomen and pelvis including on the vaginal cuff and on the sigmoid colon. Given 10 external radiation treatments to stop the vaginal cuff tumor from bleeding and…
Got my CT/PET results. Mets to the liver. :(
They're small (only one slightly larger than a cm & 3 other tiny ones noted on the report that my gyne-onc couldn't even FIND on my scan images) but apparently my uterine cancer has now metasticized to my liver. That can't be good. The CA125 I had last Monday just prior to my CT/PET was 290, significantly up from the 181…
To Susafina
Susafina, Hi there. As I recall you are about 4 plus months out past end of your treatment. I know you were hoping for your hemoglobin to start climbing. Just wondering-did you return to work after treatments and if so at what time span? I am still struggling wiht my counts. Platelets just went from 34,000 to 84,000 which…
Five weeks since my last chemo------counts still a rollercoaster ride
Friends, Hi there. Well, today I went for my weekly bloodtest. This is my 5th wweek since my 6th final chemo, and my counts are still struggling to return. Good news, platelets went up from 34,000 to 84,000. So that was a good jump in a week. However, on the downside hemoglobin dropped and white and neutrophils dropped as…
When to expect to be at full strength post hysterectomy
I had a total hysterectomy on Nov. 15th. I tried returning to work last Wednesday, but it proved to be too much for me. Simple tasks such as a trip to the grocery store still makes me very tired. When can I expect to be back to feeling 100%?
Positive pelvic washing
I am a 63 year old woman who had sudden vaginal bleeding after going through menopause over 20 years ago. I had a complete hysterectomy (ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix) earlier this month for endometrium cancer (adenocarcinoma). The doctor said the pathology report was "good", ie., stage 1, grade 1, myometrial invasion <…
To Always Hopeful re: radiation
Hi - you mentioned in a Nov post that radiation was still kicking your butt. I also had WART - about 18 months ago. Since then my hip bones hurt - I can barely bend - my **** is killing me - the doctor keeps insisting that the pain is NOT due to radiation - I think it is. What pain do you have? What does your doc say about…
has anyone gone to a shaman for healing??
sisters, i just got the name of two shamans, one an older nepalese woman who travels around the world, and is only here infrequently. i am on a list to be notified of her return to this area, possibly in 4 months. she apparently has quite a following, and is one of the 13 grandmothers from nepal working for world peace.…
How many people have gone back to work after the intial protocol treatment?
Friends, I am almost 4-1/2 weeks out from my 6th chemo. Still struggling with low blood counts, so I have not yet been approved by my medical team to return to work. It is my understanding that my employer would like me to return, even though I have been out for 8 months now. I am just curious, how many who have completed…
Accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound
I'm still trying to reassure myself and my friend that her postmenopausal bleeding is probably nothing. I know that I am posting on a site where, if we had postmenopausal bleeding, it WAS cancer. That's how my cancer presented itself. However, I am quoting here from a cancer society website: Transvaginal ultrasound is a…
Seeking advice about my symptoms
I had joined CSN as a caregiver but am looking for advice about my own issues - I have been having a pink discharge between periods and sometimes get cramps that spread down my legs, which are very similar to what I used to get during bad periods (which I rarely have, as I'm on the pill). I had thought this was a…
