Daylady - More news...
Hi Ladies, well while I was in Germany Dr. Herzog pushed and pushed to get Kaiser to do tumor testing that I had not been able to convince anyone to do. Yesterday I got the results and found out that I tested positive for 3 of the 4 markers (Progesterone, Estrogen, and HER2). This basically triples my treatment options. In…
Pain after chemo
I'm a little over a month out from my last chemo treatment. For the past couple of weeks I've had intense pain in my legs and abdomen at night and early in the morning. It seems to be a combination of leg pain and constipation; the pain moves around and comes and goes. Once I'm able to clear my bowels in the morning it…

Re: Cancer Blood Level still lower
Hi Ladies: I wanted to update you on my appt today with my oncologist regarding the reoccurrence of UPSC I have been diagnosed with since October of 2016. My latest CA 125 number is now down to 49.

My second chemo session was canceled last week after my blood work showed elevated liver function values (AST and ALT). Blood test for hepatitis is negative and ultrasound of the liver is negative for mestastasis (in chemo for metastasis to lungs after 5 years in remission with high-dose progesterone). This week's blood…

Newly Diagnosed as Stage 4
Severe abdominal pain sent me to emergency room on 11/19/16. CT showed some " spots" on liver. Biopsy indicated cancer and was told it was ovarin and had sigmoid colon perforation. Had radical hysterehysterectomy and bowel resection on 12/13/16. After surgery was told cancer was actually uterine. Sent home and appointment…
Ugh.
My ca-125 came back stable, but elevated. I had my fourth dose of Doxil today. My doctor was surprised, but not alarmed. I have been battling a minor cold, I have bad sinuses too. I have no baseline number. i will get a Ct scan soon. How long until the results? What chemo is next? Is stable still "good"?
Uterine Carcinosarcoma Survivors
Hi there, I decided to make a new thread as the old one was getting longer. My name is Ashleig I talked to several other women out there who had the same thing my mother was diagnosed and I just wanted to give a little update. My mother's surgery was in November and I had said it would be December and was terrified because…
TinyHouse update
I wanted to start a thread for myself so those who found me in the "constipation" discussion could find me. Don't want my life to be categorized under constipation! ;) . My second Chemo round was last Tuesday 1/10/17. Good news and bad news. Bad news first-I am apparently allergic to Pepcid. The only time I have been…
How many treatment?
I am worried about how much chemotherapy treatment can receive for endometrial cancer? I know that we can user cisplatine, doxo, endoxan, taxol and carboplatine. But after.... ???? When cancer is metastasized, we can not receive these treatments all the time? There is no alternative?

Hello Where is BC BRADY?
Great biopsy results
Ladies, Just wanted to let you know that I got my biopsy results and everything is normal. "Inactive endometrium" whatever that means, was the result. Bottom line: No cancer and I couldn't be happier. We are just taking a wait and see position as to any new bleeding. If I am still having issues, they will do the…
Radiation on my neck
i saw the radiaction oncologist today and will be starting radiation on Monday. They did both the consultation and planning session both today so we wouldn't have to drive back another time this week. Looks like it will be for 15 times. They made me a mask to wear to keep head in one place and did a CT scan so they can…
Scared to feel good
Since the beginning of December, I've been feeling better and better. Some of it is, I'm sure, having my thyroid medication raised substantially. But I think the other reason is because it's been a year since my last chemo and I'm FINALLY healing from the damage - I noticed on Saturday I was using my left hand to eat again…
synchronous cancers
I had surgery last July for two cancers and they were a very rare pair. I had squamous cell cervical and endometrial(uterine adenocarcinoma) at the same time. Pathology kept thinking they made a mistake because they did so many biopsies prior to rushing me into surgery for what they thought was the "real" cancer.…

Hello I have stade4 endometrial adenocarcinoma. After a recurrence or cancer has been? In abdomen ? What was your treatment?your story with récurrences?
I'm back and hoping for help please :(

Well, the tests are stretching out and I still have no concrete results. So please, can you humor me and tell me your thoughts? (which I know are not medical opinions, just personal…
Do you know if chemo is failing? Just paranoid...
I have a question, I would ask on the ovarian board, but it's not as active as this one. Last year at this time, I was diagnosed at first with stage IV cancer. I had a significant pleural effusion, about a week later, I had my debulking surgery, three weeks later I started on chemo. My pleural effusion came back really…
