Lymph Node Question
I have a question that hopefully someone can answer: received ct scan results and it says "highly concerning metastic disease in the interaortocaval region 3.2x3.2 cm; round solid masses in both iliac regions 3.2x2.8 and 2.3x1.9cm. Abdominal aorta is normal in caliber." Does anyone know what this means? My dr says she is…
Thank you!
Thank you for all the inspirational responses I have received from my previous post. The first thing that comes to my mind is how will I survive this. My daughter graduates college in May and my son next fall so I really need to be there plus I am getting re-married this December. Not knowing what stage this is or if it…
port discomfort
I had my port surgically inserted this morning, right side. I've rested and done the ice pack on and off as instructed. I'm having some tightness/discomfort around my neck. I am assuming this is normal?? It's tolerable and there is no swelling or redness on the incision. Maybe I'm just too impatient in getting used to…
Happy doctors
my medical oncologist had the report of my CT Scan today and was excited about the results. Except for one .7 cm new spot all others had either shrunk or disappeared. He feels very strongly that this immunotherapy drug is working. He had gotten a note from my Gyno-oncologist who also was very pleased with the results. I…
Wondering if anyone else experienced necrosis After radiation
i had chemoradiation for 28 sessions before I started my carbo/taxol chemo. As it turns out I ended up with a complication from the radiation - necrosis In the tumor that got the radiation. It's been very uncomfortable and almost worst then the side effects of the chemo. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Sad News
I just read in the Facebook group that AWK has passed away. She was the first to respond when I first came on this board last year, and she was such a source of inspiration for me and so many others here. Unfortunately, I do not have any more information at this time. I will share whatever I can find out. Chris
I do not see a separate section for cervix cancer?
Is Cervix Cancer considered Uterine Cancer ? I was diagnoise with Stage 3 Cerix Cancer and finished treatments just over 2 months ago. Pet Scan scheduled Oct 21st. I am pretty much stress about that upcoming scan since than I'll know whether or not the 7 weeks(5 days a week) of Radiation and 6 weeks of chemo (Once a…
Good News For Mrs. Red
We are doing the happy dance around here this weekend. Mrs. Red's 4 month post frontline treatment appmt with her gyneoncologist was this past Friday and everything came back clear and normal. CA125 was lower then ever (6.8) and ct scan all normal or as the radiogist says, unremarkable. Getting to love that word! The…
CA-125 levels
This is something I've wanted to ask about for a while, but was too superstitious to put my concerns out there until I had results from a CT scan and heard from both of my oncologists that I should not be worried. My CA-125 levels have been quite high since before my hysterectomy. I'm still too superstitious to put the…
MD Anderson-- what can I expect?
I leave on Tuesday for treatment for my recurrence/residual ovarian cancer. I was just curious what I can expect as far as treatment, tests, time? I was told to expect 3 days, but expect 5-7 business days. We are driving from the panhandle of FL (9 hours). Just curious...
Having a bad day
Actually, a bad week. I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe it's my upcoming 3 month appointment and the next scan. Maybe it's reading on here that some of our sisters have had recurrences. Maybe it's because it's beginning to feel like fall here which always feels like the end of something to me. Every little ache and pain…
New to this site - need help.
I have been diagnosed with High Grade Mullerian Carcinoma of the uterus from a phone call with my dr yesterday. Next Friday my dr will be doing an abdominal hysterectomy and also exploring my abdomen to see if the cancer has spread. She said on the CT scan my lymph nodes were enlarged and that concerned her. She will try…
Last Chemo but Questions Arise

Long journey and I may have not done it with grace and elegance but by golly 25 external, 3 days low dose brachy and 6 chemos.. I rang the bell, brought…
