1st GYN/oncologist visit
Like the rest of you said, more wait and see. I think I started looking for support earlier than many of you. Now I have a 2nd test that has gone wrong. My Pap test pulled the same cancer diagnosis as the uterine biopsy also showed endometriod Adencarcinoma. The Doc says that usually means the disease is more advanced.…
60 yo Mom DX with EC
Hi Ange, I started a new thread for you. I am sorry for you and your Mom but don't get way ahead of yourself. For now the key is to locate an outstanding gyn-oncologist. Maybe you would like a second opinion before making a decision. Do not worry about time. Right now expertise overrides time. Where do you live? Many fine…
MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER HAS GONE TO REST!!!!!

Managing side effects of radiation?
My mom has been in treatment this past year for Stage IIIc, grade 3 endometrial cancer. She did really well with her 6 rounds of chemo this spring/summer but has had a much rougher experience with radiation. She had 28 external beam radiation treatments, ending two days ago, and had side effects from day 1. This past week…
MMMT Stage 3a
My mother was diagnosed with uterine carsinosarcoma - MMMT - we just got the pathology back from the surgery and they said it is stage 3a. The surgeon didn't take any lymph nodes during surgery - she thought it was stage 1c after the surgery. When she talked to us she didn't really explain that the new staging meant that…

Scar tissue or recurrence?
I had a CT today. My gyn/onc said there is a "shadow" at the vaginal cuff that he thinks is scar tissue from all of the radiation I had (25 external, 3 internal). There was definately no tumor only thickening. I have had no symptoms. On the bright side, no other organ involvement seen and all lymph nodes looked normal. I…

Insufficiency fractures of the sacrum after radiation
Has anyone had insufficiency fractures of the sacrum after pelvic radiation? If so, did these fractures ever heal or new ones develop?
Hormones - encouraging news
I had the results of my latest MRI scan yesterday. I have been on hormone therapy - aromatase inhibitor Letrozole - since the end of June. The news is encouraging. The tumour on the right hand side of my pelvis has shrunk so that it is not visible. The tumour on the left has also shrunk, but is still visible. The tumours…

unsure what to ask for
Hi, I haven't been diagnosed with anything but my symptoms are causing pain and problems and my ob/gyn has been difficult to get information from. Any advice about what to ask him for specifically, what tests I might need to push for, etc., would be SO helpful and appreciated. Here's what's going on. I'm only 26, mother of…
Getting my life back
Hi, I'm Sandy, I am a cancer survivor for 2 years now. I am having trouble piecing my life back together. I need to find a job, but I have pain in my back that limits what I can do. I am very stressed right now. Is there anyone else going through this?

Surgery to Remove Pelvic Nodes
I have sort of an unusual question. Most surgeons these days do some degree of lymph node dissection during the staging surgery. I had discussed this prior to surgery with my doctor, and was very concerned about lymphedema, due to already having a lot of issues with my legs and feet. So we decided together that they would…
Depression and possible recurrence
Hello, everyone. I was taken off HRT abruptly mid-September. I am getting so irritable, angry, depressed, annoyed at every little thing - this comes and goes in sort of spasms. I hate feeling like this - is this something I can do something about? (I am already on anti-depressants.) I also am nervous - I have had some…
Exam issues
This is really embarassing, but I have a really personal concern I need to ask about. I have myself worked up into a frenzy again because it's exam time (Monday). It has nothing to do with the typical worry about "what if they find something", but that does still cross my mind. The problem is I'm now 65 years old (that's a…
