Just Feeling a Bit Emotional Tonight
I want to be positive. I want to help other women. I want to know the good, the bad, the ugly. If you get really ill, I won't leave. I just want to say that I know most of you are the same. I'm not afraid of getting too close to people. If I like you, I like you. Same with love. Because cancer is such a nasty little…

Dear Deb 1, I know you're very busy taking care of yourself, and I was afraid that it would be hard for you to find a note from me, and perhaps from all of us. I know others who love you may add a note below. I just want you to know I am so grateful for all the love and encouragement I've gotten from you in this last year.…

Immunotherapy Fail-dostarlimab
I knew this time would come but I didn’t know how fast. For the past month I’ve had some severe pain in my right hip at the top of the bone. I never thought it was “cancer related”. Last Friday a week ago I sent a note to my team detailing how bad I felt and got an acute care appointment at the cancer center. Even with…

Back home from surgery!
Hi All: Well my surgery went well. Unfortunately they were unable to do it laparoscopically due to how much scar tissue I had so they had to do an incision. It is higher up that my previous ones. They removed scar tissue and also removed a piece of my small bowel which seemed to have been stuck which may have been causing…

Questions about CA-125 test
I will be starting radiation soon. I was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma. I asked my doctor yesterday if I had a CA-125 test before or after my hysterectomy. I only asked because I see that test mentioned so frequently in everyone's posts. The doctor told me that test was for ovarian cancer and that I haven't had…

My hysterectomy
I had my hysterectomy Tuesday morning. They got me in prep by 6:00. I was given Tylenol and tramadol during prep and after they got me groggy they did a nerve block in my back and put in a second IV. I very vaguely remember being put in recovery. Someone told me I got to keep my ovaries and it went great. I was so out of…

I had a hysterectomy and I am next scheduled for radiation treatments. For those that had radiation only after hysterectomy how long after your hysterectomy did you start your radiation treatment? My radiation treatments will start 11 weeks after my surgery. I am concerned because I read an article that said if radiation…

Keeping our mental game strong during treatment
One challenge I faced during chemo was my head game, so I thought I'd start a thread on this to gather experience and wisdom from all of us who have been through it. Maybe future visitors will benefit. By "head game," I mean the mental "game" that helps us navigate very difficult circumstances. I don't mean toxic…

4 years since Stage 4B diagnosis, 3.5 years NED
Hello, everyone - I don't stop in often anymore but wanted to share good news I received recently. I was diagnosed in January 2018, initially as Stage II, then 3 months later after a scan, Stage IVB with nodules having spread to my lungs via LVSI. Life looked like it would be quite abbreviated. Yet here I am, 59 now, and…
