Has anybody of You been totally without symptoms but surprisingly been diagnosed with uterine cancer
It’s , anyway, good to be asymptomatic but it is insidious. I got the alarming ultrasound pictures by a routine visit to my gynecologist in the beginning of June. I do not know anything more yet, I must wait for the diagnosis. The inoffice biopsy test couldn’t be done because of a tight cervix and I’ll have my D&C on the…
I’m European, with the benefits and problems of our public health system
I do not know very much about the US health care system but I suppose You mostly have private insurances. That is not usual in Scandinavia. We have high taxes and quite a good public health care with small cost to the patient. But our system has the problem of long queues even if the referral to the hospital is urgent. But…
Dilation and curettage when cervix is tight
Has anyone of You been in a situation that D&C has not been possible to perform? I’ll have D&C on the next Monday. The endorette was not done because my cervix was tight. I have got all my children by cesarean section. I’ve heard of cases that somebody had been awakened from her narcosis and heard that D&C had failed…
My mom diagnosed June 25 2014
So I'm Sand and I'm 38. I will be 39 in July 2014. I have been looking for work for more than 2 years and I have had job interviews each week in the month of June. I was on such a freaking high. Feels great to have so many job interviews! I have another one June 27th. But my mom had a biospy on June 11th. And we got the…
Atypical Glandular Cells Undifferentiated on Pap Smear
Hi all! Who started out with Atypical Glandular Cells Undifferentiated on Pap Smear? I'm trying to find literature about this and what this means!? My GYN did not explain.
What is better, laparoscopy or regular surgery for hysterectomy?
Does anyone have an opinion on this? Davinci robotic or regular surgery? And what was your experience after your procedure and during and how long was recovery? Thank you! And good luck to everyone!
New here so hello to all of you! Have a question
I am 49 years old. I had an endometrial ablation about 5 yrs ago for heavy periods. I went to my primary DR bc I was having right shoulder pain and right lung pain (right chest area). He ended up just giving me my routine yearly blood work and an X-ray of the shoulder and chest X-ray, all was fine except my Sed rate was…

* View * Edit Sun, 06/22/2014 - 3:23pm — nolib1966 I am 66 years old. In September of 2013 I started bleeding, after not having a period since 1998. I went to my famiIy doctor and she did a pap test.

Returning to the discussion board…feeling frustrated with my doctors!
It's been quite a few months since I've posted anything on the discussion...or even looked at the board! I stopped reading posts because some got a little depressing and some were just too overwhelming...and then I was just so disillusioned by my doctor that I kind of went into a "denial" phase! In January 2012 I was…
Fosomax
OK ladies, give me the pros and cons{know everyone is different}, but I think I'd rather break a hip than get jaw necrosis! And how big is 0.6cm? Thanks all, Debra
Done with treatment - NED - but emotionally in knots
I feel so stupid. I was driven and positive all during treatment, but now that I've had a clean MRI and my hair is coming back in and the feeling is coming back in my hands and feet I feel depression coming on. I mean-- I've never been diagnosed with clinical depression, but I imagine this is what it feels like. I have so…
New Ill-Defined Mass
I've had some minor pinching abdominal pain on my left side. I had been drinking a lot of raspberry lemonade up to a couple of months ago and thought the abdominal pain and worsened reflux was because of that. I thought I either gave myself something like gastritis or an ulcer, plus had my reflux, which I'm already on…
Have You told to many people what disease You have? I mean in the beginning.
Hi My case is so new and uncertain that it has not yet been topical to tell about it to many people, I haven’t got any diagnosis yet and I’m waiting for scraping. But the way the gynegologists have commented the ultrasound pictures, is a little bit alarming. This forum knows much more about my situation than the people…
Have You a list of Phytoestrogen products, the are not good for everybody
Hi I was extremely surpriced when my gynegologist found by ultrasound my endometrial hyperplacia that can be cancer or ”only” a hyperplacia, a pre-stage of cancer, I’ll get to know it after I have had biopsy in the Juli. I do not belong to any typical risk group. I have eaten very healthy food, I do not consume much…
Do not know what happens, uncertainty is difficult
Principally I have no reason to get mad yet but I cannot concentrate on my work now today. I do not have any diagnosis yet. But my gynegologist looked worried because of the ultrasound during my routine visit for a couple of weeks ago. The endometrium had been 15 millimeter thick. I’ll go to the hospital in the beginning…
How long time did You need to wait for the diagnosis and treatment?
How long time did You need to wait for the diagnosis and treatment? I Did You feel nervous? I went to my gynegologist for a couple of weeks ago and she took ultrasound and told that there was endometrial hyperplacia that maybe could be cancer. The endometrium was 15 millimeter tjock. She sent an urgent referral to a…

Total hysterectomy Nov 2012, chemo, and external IMRT radiation. NED CT Scan Dec 2013; but does say malrotated small bowel. Ever since surgery, then…

Ugh! Symptoms - but where to go?
Ok. We all talk about symptoms. But I don't know where to turn with these one. I just called my gyne/onc and the PA indicated that she didn't feel that these symptoms had anything to do with a recurrence. Here's the symptoms: By the way, I am not on any medications except Motrin when needed Head area: left side headaches,…
OK, officially freaking out!
MD Anderson sent my message to my onc about the node. They have me set up for 6 appointments June 13, June 26. Want bloodwork ASAP! Damn! I'm ok with the testing, but the two week wait ain't gonna cut it! Husband stoic. kids big-eyed, my mother bawling that I may be sick and she'll have to go into a home, ect! How likely…
How did you know you had a recurrence?
Ladies, for all of you out there who have had to deal with this, how did you find the cancer had reoccurred? I was fortunate to find my UPSC early at Stage 1A, but every now and then those little thoughts will creep in to my head and I have no idea what I should be looking for. I get the blood draw for CA125 and the…
