Uterine Cancer

Checking in and saying "Hello!"
Hi Everyone: Sending you all hugs! Its been a few months since I check in. I'm hanging in there. I have a scan coming up in November. 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)
I'm conflicted in posting this. On the one hand I know how important it was for me when I was first diagnosed to learn that some women with my type/stage of cancer (Stage 3B, Grade 3 uterine carcinosarcoma or MMMT) did survive longer than the typical statistics. On the other hand, I feel so badly for those women who…
Medicare Drug Plans
With the change period on the horizon I'm starting to think about drug plans. I have traditional Medicare and plan F for my supplement which I chose at the time because of my cancer background. 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…
Letrozole + Ibrance for ER+ endometrial cancer
Saw this announcement today and thought I'd share it with you all. It's a small study but with promising results for advanced or recurrent estrogen receptor positive endometrioid type endo cancer (those of you with serous should also read it). CDK4/6 Inhibition Boosts PFS in Endometrial Cancer
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?
So... I checked my portal...
And the bloody beast is back. :( Iys in my abdominal wall/muscles, and there is a bit of both peritoneal carcinomatosis and a small amount of asctis... CA125 was 32 4 months ago. Now it's 600 :O Firwt though was... I'm gonna die. That peritoneal carcinomatosis is not so good though. Right? That part killed you in the old…
Fallopian tube girl on your uterine page

Icing
I'm starting chemo on Thursday and want to try icing during infusion to prevent neuropathy. The chemo is for a reoccurrence and I still have numbness in my feet from the first time. Has anyone tried it? Any tips or ideas? i ordered booties and gloves but I've also heard of using ice bags. Did you wear gloves and socks?…
How to deal with waiting?
Hi ladies, a few days ago my gyno called me in to tell me a polyp she removed is suspicious for adenocarcinoma. I am scheduled for a CT scan on the 11th and will be scheduled for a hysteroscopy with biopsy ince my period arrives (based on my body signs, within a week). While she has told me thst signs point to it being at…
Reoccurence
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…
