UPSC TREATMENT
I had surgery in March and finished my 6 chemo treatments 2 weeks ago. I haven't had radiation yet. I was very anxious during the time between my biopsy and surgery but have been pretty ok since then. Today I got my appointment for my scan. (Sept.6) and will see my gyn/onc Sept. 12 for the results. I suspected the anxiety…

Dealing with recurrence #2
Hi Ladies, I've been laying low for awhile, managing this second recurrence. I took letrozole (generic Femara) for 5 months while watching CA125 rise steadily - and more rapidly in last couple of months - now near 140.

Aromasin seems to be working
Went to the doctor today. My CA 125 went from 79 to 161. I was going to be happy with anything less than 200. So I was happy. I know others worry with the slightest increase in their CA 125's, but when mine has gone up to 3200 I don't worry about 161. I know it is doubling, but I have no symptoms. I will go back in5 weeks…

Lots going on.....
So just 10 days to my 40th birthday and I was told I have a uterine fibroid, polp, and a "thick" endometrium. I went to see my OB/GYN due to heavy, abnormal bleeding for two weeks. For several months now my abdomen has been EXTREMELY distended-looks like I am 6 months pregnant (it never gets better). I have no appetite. My…

Has anyone ever heard about Vitex Elixir for menopause symptoms?
The monster is back
I found out yesterday at my one year check up that the cancer is back. The PET scan showed a spot on my lung and a para aortic lymph node lite up. The feeling of despair is overwhelming. My daughter turned 14 today and I can't bear the thought of leaving her. I have a meeting with a Thoracic surgeon on the 27th and my onc…

BHRT Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Have you heard anything about Bioidentical Hormone Therapy. I was browsing through Suzanne Somers' book "Knockout", and she mentions to be in this therapy for menopause. I am going to read about it, but I was wondering if anyone has read, tried of heard about it.

Seems like I found the source and solution to the abdominal pain!
I couldn't wait to post this follow-up report on treatment for my post hysterectomy abdominal pain that feels like menstrual. Cramps. I've had it since February. I started working with a personal trainer who thought the source of the pain might involve the psoas muscle. This is a deep abdominal muscle that can create…

My daughter is preparing to run another marathon and wishes to raise money specifically for uterine cancer as I am currently in treatment for UPSC. Anyone know of any possibilities? I have been lurking here for quite awhile and want you all to know how much less isolated I feel since discovering you. Thank you to all who…
Clinical Trial-Recentin
I have been on a GOG clinical trial for Stage IIIC papillary serous uterine carcinoma for 4 months. This is an oral medication that is in the same class as Avastin. My GYN team has very little experience with the side effects of this medication and the first couple of months were quite traumatic because I was coping with…

I read your invitation to Helen, it's unbelievable. I cannot imagine there are still good people out there. You are a wonderful person. May you continue to enjoy good health along with loads of happiness.

Bladder injured during hysterectomy?
have any of you sustained a bladder injury as a result of a hysterectomy? The oncologist said everything looked absolutely normal at my 6 month checkup this week (yesss!) and attributed the bleeding, blood clot and abdominal pain (which pain I've had since the hysterectomy) to the bladder. I've read that if you had…

I am now a cancer patient.
On 8/3/2012 I was told by my Gyn that my biopsy showed that I had cancer. My first reaction was to cry. My doc was wonderful,he held my hand and tried to console me. He told me to focus and please listen to what he was going to say. He told me reports indicate grade 1 endometrian cancer and he thought stage 1 but would…
Metformin
I just read that Metformin has been seen to slow down the progress of certain cancers, including endometrial cancer. Has anyone had any experience with this. Metformin is a drug that has been used to control insulin with diabetics..
Spotting last week and tomorrow's 6 month follow up
Last week I had definite spotting after a 4 month break from any spotting. When I called the onc surgeon to report it, i was told it was probably because I started exercising. Why didnt they tell me that many months the road i could bleed for a reason unrelated to a recurrence of cancer? The staff seemed so indifferent. If…
Is it okay to use estrogen cream?
I haven't been able to find anything that is an effective moisturizer. I've heard estrogen cream is the only thing that works but I was also told that endometrial cancer thrives on estrogen. Any thoughts?
My journey has started
I had a radical hysterectomy with removal of the omentum. Dr. Said he could see no visual signs of the serous papillary cancer outside of my uterus. The pathology report will be the only absolute answer to that question. I am totally in God's hands. I am feeling great nd walking around and able to cook and pick things up…
