Infected port
I noticed last night I had some leaking from my port site. When I woke up from my nap this afternoon the front of my blouse was wet there too. Tonight when we got back to our Green Bay house I looked at it and when I just gently touched it, puss poured out of it! It's not red and my temp is 99. I called my doctor and she…

Another with USPC
I was diagnosed with IDC (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma) in May 2015. I had a masectomy of the left breast with immediate tissue expander and Alloderm placement. After many, many, many infections and other trials the tissue expander was removed in late August. I began hormonal treatment with Tamoxifin in late July. I saw my…

Anybody else refused Neulasta?
I have been miserable since last Thursday with awful joint pain in my pelvis, hips, ribs, sternum and back since I had my Neulasta shot on Wednesday. It almost feels like they're vibrating in pain. My WBC was 3.6 ten days after my first chemo but had gone to 8.3 right before my second chemo (normal range). I ate WBC…

My mom is starting chemo again
I'm in shock right now and because my mom doesn't want to share the news of her recurrence with anyone until after Thanksgiving, I have no one to talk to. After two years of remission, my mom started having lower back pain. She pushed her doctor for a PET scan and on Saturday, he called with the news that she will begin…

suspicious pain
For 5days already I have a pain in the lung/liver area on the right side. It's not sharp or strong, but I already think is recurrence. I'll call my doctor tomorrow. What else could it be if not recurrence? I'm almost two months after finishing chemo.

Stage 3 Grade 3-starting chemo soon
Hi, I talked with my Dr. Friday and he confirmed stage 3 grade 3 mixed endometrial/serous cancer. It was contained in the utereous and 1 out of 14 lymph nodes, but I guess it doesn't matter, because serous is always treated aggressively. I'm starting chemo Dec 10th, 6 rounds, 3 wks apart. He originally said no radiation,…

Haven't had much bone pain but I was taking Claritin and have my Oxycodon if I need it. No appetite but I see a nutritionist the week after next to see if we can come up with a low cholesterol, low…

Chemo day
Sitting here "enjoying" my chemo! WBC is up and so is my RBC. CA 125 at 12.2 and my doctor said they won't be able to use it as an indicator. And, weirdest of all, my blood clotting problem is getting BETTER with chemo when it should be getting worse. So far I've lost over 20# and have to see the nutritionist. I'm just not…

Losing my hair (and my wig)
I didn't know whether to post this or not but here goes. By the way, I haven't let anybody except our two daughters, see me without my wig. I spent the weekend at our place in northern Wisconsin with my husband and son. On Friday we had a couple of inches of snow but by Sunday, it was an absolutely beautiful day with a…

I need a little help. My Mom was diagnosed with UPSC Stage 3c about a year ago and has undergone a round of chemo, then radiation, then Herceptin and the cancer is still progressing, it has spread to lymph nodes in her neck, lungs and possible liver. She goes to a Kaiser clinic and no matter what I do, I can't get her to…

I am in my third week and I feel great except most of my hair is gone. Last Monday I had it all cut short but they saved my braids. It was coming out in gobs!! I have round 2 of my chemo next…

In-person Support Groups
Just curious... has anyone here found any local support groups specific to uterine or gynecological cancers in their areas? Some here have mentioned that they have never met another woman with uterine cancer, and neither have I. I had searched a couple of times in the last few months and found absolutely nothing, though I…

To painful to use dialator still after 6 months since finishing radiation.
I feel so upset about what I have to deal with every other day to get the dialalater in. Still feel raw inside and my whole pelvic area aches badly. I didn't feel this bad during chemo or after my hysterectomy. When I tell my doctor, he just says it may just take more time to heal. My stomach has been bothering me for the…

post frontline chemo update
One month after my "last" chemo NO single hair yet, anywhere...... Otherwise no change with the Neuropathy, not better not worse, headaches are less, overall fine. Keeping myself busy and distracted, so not to think about recurrence.

Superfatigued and depression
I was wondering if anyone has dealt with super fatigue and dark depression after finishing their radiation and chemotherapy? Right now I feel so weak all the time and have very dark thoughts. I am about three weeks out from finishing my treatments. I am not exercising much except for climbing the stairs several times a day…

Recurrence Fear
Once you have finished treatment, how do you stop yourself from constantly thinking about the possible return of cancer? You think about it when you eat, what you eat, making time to exercise, appoitments etc. How to do you minimize thinking about it?

I came back from the hospital where I went for my blood test and found it. It's stopped now. All afternoon I played telephone tag with my…
