Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

Met another uterine cancer patient
Am I the only one who thinks this disease is becoming more and more common? I was visiting my daughter in Henderson, NV last week and was out for a walk. I don't wear "hair" when I walk (it's too hot) so I had my ballcap on. What hair I have is buzzed because there is no reason in the world to look like the crypt…
Update on my vaginal wall cyst
Cyst turned out to be benign. It was a Mullerian duct remnant with wolffian/mesonpheric duct. The Wolffian duct (also known as the mesonephric duct) is one of the paired embryogenic tubules that drain the primitive kidney (mesonephros) to the cloaca. In both the male and the female the Wolffian duct develops into the…
Results of my gyn/onc appt. on Monday
I just wanted to let you know the results of my gyn/onc appt. on Monday. I still have a small mass in my paracolic gutter. It's now 1.1 x 1.4 cm. and in June it was 1.0 x 1.4 cm. My CA-125 was 6.3 then and it's 6.4 now. So both the CA-125 and the results of the CT scan show a 0.1 increase. The radiology report my gyn/onc…
Endometrial vs UPSC
I'm getting myself confused. Need some help out there sisters. My first pathology report shows the words Endometrial and serous. The GYN that did my colposcopy said I had Endometrial cancer. Looked small and they felt it was caught early. I get to the GYN Onc. and he tells me I have a rare type of uterine cancer. UPSC…

Hey all! I had Stage IVB grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma. I was diagnosed in June of last year and ended chemo in December. Still cancer free, follow up coming up on the 25th. No symptoms. Recent brain CT and MRI scans (after migraines) showed no tumors. Going to college full time and loving life! Wanting to know if…
My PET/MRI experience
My PET/MRI Experience I just thought I would share my experience with this newest scanning procedure. A PET/MRI. I had this procedure done on Wednesday, September 3, 2014. I was told that there are only 9 other machines in the US at the moment. I was originally to get this done in February, but at the time the study was…
Thinking of you Ro and Helen

Here's one for the book - Can someone help me out with this?
Ok. As some of you may know, I have been going for various tests in the past couple of months. Most recently, I met with my PCP who not only put me on a mild high blood pressure medicine (never had it before), but also wanted me to have a urine and blood test since my most recent PET/MRI showed that my left kidney has…

I went through treatment and have had some ups and downs and some surgeries since then but other than that still NED at the momemt or at least what I have is currently…

Taxol Sensitivity
I had my second round of chemo today. I am getting the standard Carbo/Taxol. During the first round I had a reaction to the Taxol, flushing red face, cramps in my legs and feet, cough, a little difficulty breathing. They immediately stopped the IV and then gave some additional Benadryl. Its a big deal with the nurse…
Anyone have a cyst? removed from the vaginal wall?
Went in for my 4 year check up and saw what they thought was a cyst right inside the vaginal opening. They removed it and sent it to be checked and I have to wait a week to find out the results. It was about the size of a pea and when she removed it there was fluid inside. She also noticed a mole on the labia that I didn't…
I got the appointments for my consultations
I got a call today that I will see the radiation onocologist and the thorasic surgeon next Friday the 29 th. I will get a repeat CAT scan of the chest that morning. The surgeon likes the scan to be within 30 days. So I hope that means I am a candidate for either the cyber knife or surgery. I am hoping for the cyber knife.…
How about a roll call? Haven't heard from many of you in a while.
State age, geographic location, when diagnosed, stage at diagnosis, treatments, current status, complementary treatments, source of strength (or something like that).
Went today to get " mold" or body cradle for SBRT
I had to remove my bra and shirt and put on a gown. I had to lay on a table that looked like it was covered with a black garbage bag. They made sure I was in a straight line. They then had me sit up. They poured into the bag some sort of chemical that turned into a foam. I then laid down. I put my arms over my head. There…
Results from PET/MRI
So the PA returned my call today and told me about my report. Although she said overall it looked good, my doctor still hadn't read it and will read it tomorrow and then get back to me. I am happy that the results didn't turn up anything new, but I am still faced with the stupid mass and what I should do: Although it…
New here -Looking for support - from breast to uterus?
Hi- in 2007 I posted "new here" I'm breast cancer.org. It was such a great community. I learned so much and received, and gave in return unbelievable support. Double mastectomy - DCIS 1, 3 tumors on one side and star clusters on other; necrosis. I was unbelievably lucky. I did not have time for reconstructive surgery but…
Scheduled D&C
Hi ladies- I just had the absolute worst period of my life. I'm 43 years old and have a very normal cycle, like clockwork. My period dragged on for 10 days with very large cLots. I have a history of a thickened endometrium. These ultrasounds were done mid cycle. The bleeding and clots were so bad I went to the ER. They did…

Femara/Letrozole
Hello Ut sisters, I've been off the boards for awhile - away, then had company, not feeling well, etc. It is good to catch up. I'm impressed with the knowledge and experience women share here with each other. Is anyone familiar with using Femara/letrozole or another aromatase Inhibitor for advanced stage estrogen positive…
Possible long term effects of radiation
All, this is from the UK and talks about long tern effects of radiation therapy for cervical cancer patients. Since most of us have had radiation for our uterine/endometrial cancers, I wanted to pass along the information as it could be applicable to us as well. A friend of mine has had a lot of issues and in her searches…
Went for consultations today
Today at 9:31 PM My first consultation was with the thoracic surgeon. My lymph node is too big to do the surgery with a scope. He said the node could be removed that way. The two surgery options he gave me was one a thoracotomy. He would make an incision on my right side and go through the ribs to remove the lymph node.…
Stage IIICI papillary serous endometrial cancer

Initially, the radiologist said I would have three treatments of internal radiation (brachytherapy). The second week of external radiation, he told me…

OTC Pain Killers
Hi. I've been relying heavily on Tylenol (6-8 extra strength a day) for moderate arthritis pain in my knees and chronic lower back pain (weight related!). Before I got sick I used to take one Aleve a day, but then I heard (online I think) that Aleve and Advil affect estrogen levels and that my sort of cancer-- Endometrioid…
Survival with UPSc stage IV
After reading the UPSC roll call, I'm now wondering how many of you have survived with stage IV of UPSC longer than I have. I had my surgery May 11, 2010 and I remember seeing some people in the past who had survived it longer than I had, but I haven't seen any recently. Are there any others left who have survived longer…
Post menop bleeding after BC
I have a question. I was diagnosed with IDC hormon + Her2+ in November 2009. I had 6 rounds of Chemo and 32 radiation treatments. My periods stopped after my 2nd chemo treatment and never came back until last month. I was on Tomaxafin until about a year ago with no side effects. They put my on the post menopausal drug and…
Greetings.
In March of 2013 my wife and best friend of ten years lost her battle with Stage 4B uterine cancer. It's been a while since I've posted on here, but i have read a lot of posts. Like many of you my wife was scared when she was diagnosed. I think i was more scared than she was to be honest. Michele was a fighter and one of…
