Stage 3 (IIIIC) Undifferentiated Endometrial Carcinoma
My mom got diagnosed around February 2019 with endometrial cancer, stage 3 grade c (late/advanced). Within a month or so, they did a total hysterectomy and then she continued with a pretty aggressive chemo and radiation plan, with discussions on immunotherapy as well (but those haven't begun yet). She completed her chemo…

Getting back to my former self & disappointing malaise
Good morning, Friends! I’ve thought about this a lot and have finally decided to ask what y’all think. Please keep in mind that I’m not complaining because in the grand scheme of things:1) I’m still here & 2) I feel I’m doing the right thing to prevent a recurrence (immunotherapy). It’s been 14mths since my last chemo…

A Question, A "Brag," and A Big, Warm Hug
Hello, my beloved ladies-- I need to wallow in some of the more recent posts. I got busy purchasing a new keyboard and it's more like a computer in some ways. I'm programming it, removing four pianos and adding the newest "White Grand," and teaching myself how to navigate the control board. I've always told my four…

Coping, depression, healing
I think now I am 10 weeks post-hysterectomy and things feel fine for the most part. It still hurts more than it used to when I wake up with a full bladder and need to pee but I can wear one pair of jeans with a stretchier waistband. Anything else is too uncomfortable. Stomach area is starting to feel less mushy and…

Quiltergal - Your Surgery Delay
As BluebirdOne noted, it can be hard to get replies when a comment has been posted to a very old thread. So I started this new topic for you. I know that once we hear that we have cancer, most of us are anxious to have surgery to remove it as soon as possible. And your delay until May 9th is discouraging, but not that…

NCCN Basal Cell Skin Cancer Patient Webinar
I haven't paid much attention to the NCCN's patient webinars since they haven't had one on uterine cancer yet. But today I received a notice about an upcoming one on Basal Cell Skin Cancer that caught my eye due to the recent posts here on skin cancer:…

Great...another cancer to contend with.
So...I was diagnosed with skin cancer on my lower right eyelid a couple of weeks ago. "Basal cell carcinoma, sclerosing variant", to be exact. When I heard BCC, I thought, "Well, that is the *good kind* of skin cancer, at least it isn't melanoma." And then I went to Dr. Google and found out not such a "good kind" after…

Recently diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma and possible endocervical primary
Biopsy taken from hysterectomy procedure results confirmed cancer diagnosis. I am being referred to oncologist. I was told by gynecologist that wait times may be long for first apt. And thereafter for a hysterectomy (back log from staffing shortages due to Jan. And Feb. 2022 covid). After receiving the diagnosis the idea…

New article from the Lancet on Endometrial cancer
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673622003233?dgcid=author Author is Dr. Emma Crosbie The report is a good overall view of current EC knowledge and research. It is not a treatment protocol like the NCCN guidelines. I especially was interested in the flow chart for "Investigating post menopausal…

Will sex ever feel good again? Questions after hysterectomy
I got the go -ahead from my doctor at my 6 week post-op check up for having sex again but she said to wait one more week since I had some old brown discharge left in there. So I waited until a couple nights ago to have sex. Yesterday was week 8 of recovery. I was nervous because I didn't know if I would still have…

Test for uterine and ovarian cancers
Hello ladies, I have been an occasional reader of this board. When my mother was going through her treatments for UPSC I found it really helpful to read about other women's thoughts and experiences and I am always cheering you on from the sidelines with gratitude. The reason that I'm finally posting is that I wanted to…

Searching this Site (with Examples)
The site redesign in December, 2021, included a number of welcome improvements in searching. You can now search for a combination of words such as "carboplatin and leg pain" and get results that include all three key words, unlike in the past when the system would only find items that matched the exact phrase. And you can…

Types of Uterine/Endometrial Cancer
While I knew that I had an unusual type of uterine cancer when I was diagnosed, I later learned that there are a variety of uterine cancer types. And these types can be referred to in different ways, which was initially confusing for me when I first started reading this Board. So, for the benefit of our newer members, I'm…

Link to Story: Uterine Cancer, by yours truly
Here's your free link, lovies! I'm trying to help women learn about the sneakiness of this disease, be it my type (sigh, okay, garden style! obnoxious, toxic weeds though), or the more serious (pun intended) kind. So far, I've educated several women, and I'm glad about that. Deb
