Immunotherapy Side Effects
I don't know how many of us are on immunotherapy now that Lou Ann is gone, so I thought I'd post an update on my side effects in case anyone finds it useful.

MRI Results
I got my MRI results this week and am pleased to report that I'm no longer Stage IV uterine, or apparently any stage uterine at all. The retroperitoneal lymph node mets were killed off by the CyberKnife treatments I had in January and nothing new has come up, so I'm guardedly optimistic on that count. In other news, the…

Waiting on biopsy results
I am a 37 year old. I went to my gynecologist a couple of months ago bc I was experiencing random heavy bleeding and basically a continuous cycle.

Hysterectomy vs Progesterone Therapy
Hi Ladies, I met with a gyn onc today to discuss a game plan. He mentioned that I really don’t have any of the check boxes that is common in patients with endometrial cancer, so he is surprised that my biopsy (which was conducted on a “rule anything out” basis as opposed to “suspected problem” basis due to anemia) reported…
