Checking in and saying "Hello!"

However, my work changed our insurance in September so now none of my cancer doctors or centers is covered. One good thing is that my doctor who left in April of this year and went into a…

3 Years NED with Uterine Carcinosarcoma (MMMT)

On the other hand, I feel so badly for those women who…

My drug plan did well for the couple meds I'm on. But now with the recurrence things have definitely changed. Have any of you…

What do you do during infusions?
If you're icing your hands and feet, what do you do to pass time? I understand there's a few hours of this. The first time I would probably be too worried, thinking and overthinking, worrying about reactions. But when you're not doing this, how do you cope with inactivity?

I happily posted last December that I was five years cancer free following treatment and then out of the blue the cancer is back. UPSC is certainly sneaky. I was having severe lower abdominal pain last week that I thought might be diverticulitis but no the only thing they found on the CT scan were enlarged pelvic lymph…
