Discouraged.....
Hi everybody. I saw my Oncologist on Friday and we officially decided to discontinue Doxil. After three cycles, and a dose reduction, the side effects were worse than they had ever seen. She wants me to take several weeks and just heal, which is OK with me. I am UPSC Stage IVb. In 2014 I went thru major debulking surgery,…
The waiting
Hi I have been here looking at some of the posts just to get a feel for the forum but now I am posting. In early Febuary I got a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. It showed up in a routine Pap smear so the location wasn't exactly known but now I have had a cone that came back clear...so on to the uterus. I had an ablation about…

My conversation with my gynecologic oncologist
I saw my gyne oncologist and he seemed pleased that I am closing in on 1 and 1/2 years since my hysterectomy with no signs of a recurrence. I finished my chemo treatment 1 year ago. That was the end of my treatment . Yah!! But what he told me surprised me . He said that 90% of my treatment was my hysterectomy and…

Doxil side effects
I am fairly new to this. Since joining, I been reading other posts, which has been helpful, but have been a little shy about asking my own questions. I have stage 4 high grade papillary serous endometrial adenocarsinoma that has matastisised several times. Each time we get it beat down, it finds a new place to hide.…
TGIF..and on to other things!
An update! After 48 hours on prednizone (massive dose) the pain in my feet has subsided to where I can walk normally. Still can't get shoes on, but that will come. The chemo burn/rash is massive and going to take some time. Slightly better this morning, and didn't need pain pills last night so that's progressing too.…

Yesterday I had to go into the lab for tests and was DREADING it after the week I've had, can barely stand to be touched,…
Metastatic endometrial cancer spread to my lungs
Last October I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in my lungs. I had a hysterectomy five years ago and had check ups every three and later six months. Everything was great until a persistent cough sent me to my doctor who ordered xrays of my lungs. From there I ended up going to Moffit Cancer Institute to a gynacologica…
If you are seeking evidence of hope
Check out the other discussion board, specifically Long Term Survivors. emily1171 posted an incredible thread yesterday that I think we uterine cancer ladies and associated loved ones ought to read. I have been known to stray from the uterine board to read about other cancers . emily1171's story was incredible . It tells…
Treatment working, but stopped!

BUT.....on Tuesday I went to Dermatology because the side effects have been so drastic (major hand/foot; chemo rash/burn from hell); They got on…

5 Years cancer free today

And my CA 125 which had stabilized after my surgery at 7 has now gone down to 5.1 The doctor said he doesn't often see it go lower after 5 years. So that is also good news. I had him look in one of my ears as dead skin (like you would…

Went to pulmonolgist (lung doctor)
He felt after looking at the CD of the CAT scan, I did have radiation pnuemonitis. Since I have had the cough so long he wanted to rule out anything else. He did a bronchoscopy today ( a test where they pass a scope to look into the lungs), and he again felt it was the pneumonitis. It does not show pneumonitis with the…
This struck a chord
I heard this the other day and the strong, resiliant people I have met on this board immediately came to mind "It's not what happens to you in life, it's how you deal with it" That is now on my fridge...along with "Ageing is inevitable. Maturing is optional" Just in case I forget to enjoy life!

It seems this last one the Avastin made me feel the sickest and it was the smallest bag. I had a chest cold for about 2 months now…
Kaleena--- OMG Can't believe you took the time to enlighten us.
Kaleena, thank you so much for taking the time to update Kumar and myself. You have given me so much hope. I can't believe that you had soft tissue mass for many years. Thank you so much for sharing. Also I can't believe you had three pet scans in one year. I really do hope that you do not have to have surgery and your…
To Kumar and Nempark
Dear Kumar and Nempark: I just wanted you to know what I have been going through and it may help you a bit: As with any scan, you need to look at the bottom under Impression. Although the main body of the report can be somewhat disburbing, it is in the impression part that tells you what it really means. I got a CT scan…
