Reproductive cancer concerns
I’m new here and have been reading the posts which are helpful. I’m facing increasing concerns over my period abruptly stopping after 2 days and never passing clots anymore- as soon as the bleeding stops I feel like my abdomen is gonna burst and severe nausea. Complete exhaustion after working hospital shifts etc.. I’ve…
bladder issues as a symptom
Hi - I am just wondering if anyone who was diagnosed with uterine/endometrial cancer had any bladder issues early on (prior to treatment). I am having post menopausal bleeding, which I am having explored (ultrasound showed thickened endometrium and some type of mass). However, back in March I had a routine urinalysis which…
What do you wish someone had told you?
Hello, everyone. I've spent quite a bit of time this afternoon reading through past messages. You're a wonderfully supportive group and it looks like I'm going to need that. My gyn called today to tell me I have endometrial cancer (don't get angry at her for calling - I asked her to call if the biopsy results came in…
Endometrial Cancer - IIIb - grade 1
I'm 67. After a completely hysterectomy (they took the Fallopian tubes, too), doing well--minus the cancer, of course. (My current CA125 is 15.5, down from 24.9 pre-surgery.) I'm hoping y'all will give me your opinions--pro and/or con--as regards chemotherapy and/or radiation. Given the prognosis even if I pursue such…
Brachytherapy
I am scheduled to see the dr. Friday to start brachytherapy. I am nervous. I hope it isn’t too painful. I. Do they give you something for pain?
Stage 3 Uterine/endometrial cancer
Call me Sandy, Jeremiad came on here to find support and information. Thanks for all you do. Here goes...... 61 years young, think of myelf as very healthy. I feel great physically. After my Hysterectomy June 1, I was told that "they got it all" by the surgeons chain of command. On June 13, they got ahold of me from the…
Endometrial cancer
Hoping to find some support here. I'm not a cancer patient but I am a caregiver for my mother, who was diagnosed with Stag 3A Endometrial Cancer, an aggressive less common type, high grade uterine serous carcinoma. I didn't take my mother's cancer diagnosis really well. It's all very sad =( Long story short, my mother, was…
I have just been diagnosed with uterine serous carcinoma
I have my first visit with the specialist on August 2nd. Had an ultrasound yesterday. Any good words out there.
Anyone have osteoporosis because your ovaries were removed also??
I had my hysterectomy with ovary removal 1 year ago and have already been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Anyone else have the same experience??
Sad news about Dak82
I’m sorry to report that our dear friend, Dak82, passed away on June 12, 2022. Even after retiring from a very distinguished career in the U.S. Air Force, she continued to work as a military contractor. She also loved the challenge of participating in endurance sports like triathlons. She tried more therapies than most of…
Uterine Cancer
I am new here and so overwhelmed right now. I have uterine cancer that has spread to cervix and is aggressive. Theu cannot confirm 100% but do believe it is in my lymph nodes. My tumors are too big and surgery is not an option. I ha e to do chemo first to try to shrink tumors but still not sure surgery can be done. I'm a…
Zejula
I was declared in remission in March 2022 after 6 rounds of chemo , total hysterectomy, clear CT, and CA125 of 9. This week I received my 3rd month of zejula. I take 2 (100 mg) tablets. My side effects are rash, insomnia, and constipation. The worst part is my platelets were trending down every month to 10 yesterday. I…
Hair Loss
Hello, I started Taxol/Carboplatin a month ago (2 treatments so far). My hair was definitely coming out when I ran my fingers through it. I shaved. After 2nd it became really patchy. I shaved it even tighter. It seems like in areas it's growing back. Does this happen? My underarm hair is gone and my legs are stubbly, but…
New Dx
Hello - I am a new member as I found out yesterday I have endometrial cancer stage 3C1. Still have to have a CT to confirm it has not spread outside the pelvis. As I am sure everyone was I’m scared. Any advice for the road ahead. Thank you
I'm still hanging in there...
So May 8 is roughly 3 months past my surgery date. My body still doesn't feel quite right lol. It's hard to describe though. My stomach still feels kind of mushy and I feel like a busted can of biscuits most days. I am doing more of what I used to do; work my horses, do more chores outside, take care of my rabbits…
After Carboplatin/Paclitaxel, hair regrowth
what are your experiences with the topic?
Is this True: Grade 3 clear cell, Level/Stage will be 3 or 4?
I've got Grade 3 clear cell. Haven't had surgery yet. However, was told by OB/GYN that there was a strong possibility that it would get diagnosed as Level/Stage 3 or worse (even though we are obviously hoping for Level/Stage 1 or 2); that the 3 yr survival rate at Level 3 was about 10-20%. Also, that not treating is a…
O2 Sat dropped during robotic surgery
I was having a robotic total hysterectomy 2 days ago and 1 hour into the surgery my O2 Sat dropped to the high 80s. They made a decision to stop the surgery. So I’m recovering from the attempted procedure and will need pulmonary/cardiac evaluation before I go for round 2. I have no known serious issues in that regard but…
Newbie
Hi, I'm a year out from my diagnosis (got the call on my 50th birthday). I was not expecting endometrial cancer having just gone through diverticulitis/bowel perforation. Luckily it was 1A and so far I've just needed a radical hysterectomy. I'm finding myself with a lot of anger a few months out, not at getting sick so…
One Year Surgery Anniversary!
This past Friday was my one year surgery anniversary. Very grateful to be NED at this time! Thanks for all your guidance and support for the past 14 months! ❤️
Uterine Cancer Is on the Rise, Especially Among Black Women
Not sure why the site will not allow me to post the link to this article in yesterday's NY Times? Copied and pasted the story. Uterine Cancer Is on the Rise, Especially Among Black Women The cancer eventually will become the third most common type among women, experts say. The mortality rate is highest among Black…
Is “aggressive” definable?
I have a uterine cancer by biopsy with a diagnosis of Moderately differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma, mixed endometrioid, mucinous / secretory, and clear cell type. My first visit to a surgeon at MSK is this week. One of the cell types mentioned (clear-cell) is considered aggressive. What does that mean in reference…
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…

I'm 48, have stage 4 clear cell, diagnosed 6 months ago and have completed 6 cycles of chemo and debulking surgery. Not in remission, still have disease in my liver however overall better and am taking a break from chemo. I'm on a…

Hi, I am new here, had robotic hysterectomy Jan. 14, 2022. Med onc recommending 3 brachytherapy radiation only, no chemotherapy. I am Stage 1A mixed serous and endometrioid, no myometrial invasion. Seems most people are getting chemotherapy too. I am nerovus about recurrence. I'd love to hear from long term survivors with…
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…
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…
From 1A to IVa - Endometrioid Carcinoma with Squamus Differentation
Atypical cells found in pap smear late 2020. I couldn't tolerate the pain of uterus scrapings, so I opted for outpatient procedure to have biopsies done. They were clear. Followups all clear until this year. Endometrial lining was 13mm. Opted to have total hysterectomy instead of more biopsies. Had the laparoscopic…
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…
