PET CT results
One thing I admire about Huntsman is they get scan results read and posted quickly! Had my PET CT Friday morning and Saturday the radiation oncologist was calling me as results were posted on My Chart. Once again it was a bit of a mixed bag. Larger tumors continued to grow but by mm, not cm. The subcarinal node is still…

Feeling like deja vu
Hello all, I've posted a few times in regards to my mom's battle with stage IV endometrial cancer in regards to a thread about Keytruda & Lenvima side effects but figured this might reach others as well. Quick background: in March of 2018 my mom had a total hysterectomy for what was confirmed as stage 1 endometrial cancer.…

Whether to stop treatment
i was diagnosed in 2015, surgery, chemo, radiation, more chemo. A year after surgery I had a recurrence in my lungs and started taking megace (200 mg/day). I have been on the megace since then, now just over five years. No evidence of disease for several years. But I have gained 25 pounds, had blood clots, and now starting…

First 3-Month Check-Up All Good!

While I had a pelvic exam check-up by the radioation oncologist a month ago about 6 weeks after brachy ended and he said all looked good, that exam caused me so much discomfort that I was terribly anxious about my exam and labs today but…

Vaginal Atrophy
Hello Ladies! I wanted to get some information and education from any of you who have dealt with vaginal atrophy. I am assuming most of us have had a radical hysterectomy due to our diagnosis either prior to menopause, during the process or post menopause. I was 3 years post menopause, and fortunately had very few…

My uncle was just dx with melanoma.
Off topic, I know, but we just learned today from our 83 year old treasured uncle that he has been diagnosed with melanoma. I was horrified to learm of the missteps, incompetence and sheer lunacy of what he had already had to endure. Same story that many of us tell. Dermatologist dx melanoma after a biopsy, clown car…

Three years after UPSC/clear cell diagnosis, and NED
I'm not on here much now, but I found hope here when I was diagnosed, so I wanted to post for those on now, and those to come. I was diagnosed in fall of 2018 (but had had symptoms for a year prior) with UPSC mixed with clear cell, with isolated tumor cells in one of the two sentinel nodes taken, so clearly with lymphatic…

What are the symptoms that led to diagnosis
I am 54 yrs old and considered in perimenopause. I used to have 28 day cycles up until my late 40's. They started becomming more erratic, coming farther apart some months which I attributed to perimenopause. They currently are doing the same although they have gotten much lighter but last longer. There have been a few…

I am bleeding and feeling cramps which I hope go away tomorrow. I should have results within 7 to 10 days. I am going to flip out again waiting to find out wether…
