Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

Done with treatment - NED - but emotionally in knots
I feel so stupid. I was driven and positive all during treatment, but now that I've had a clean MRI and my hair is coming back in and the feeling is coming back in my hands and feet I feel depression coming on. I mean-- I've never been diagnosed with clinical depression, but I imagine this is what it feels like. I have so…
Gastritis
Has anyone here had a TAH robotic and developed gastritis years later. I has my surgery 11/11, had lymph nodes removed, were neg, I was stage 1a, UPSC, had chemo and internal radiation. Been to so many doctors, I cant eat anything raw, meaning fruits and vegetable , no beef pork, just fish or chicken. now I'm gluten free…
Stage 4 carcinosarcoma of uterus (lung mets) still cancer free
To all uterine cancer survivors and those undergoing treatment I will share my story. I have been hesitant because I wonder if someone with cancer ever really feels "out of the woods," but here goes: Age 42 (2007), three teenage girls, divorced. Had some abnormal bleeding that I thought was a birth control pill mix up, but…

Has anybody of You been totally without symptoms but surprisingly been diagnosed with uterine cancer
It’s , anyway, good to be asymptomatic but it is insidious. I got the alarming ultrasound pictures by a routine visit to my gynecologist in the beginning of June. I do not know anything more yet, I must wait for the diagnosis. The inoffice biopsy test couldn’t be done because of a tight cervix and I’ll have my D&C on the…
Dilation and curettage when cervix is tight
Has anyone of You been in a situation that D&C has not been possible to perform? I’ll have D&C on the next Monday. The endorette was not done because my cervix was tight. I have got all my children by cesarean section. I’ve heard of cases that somebody had been awakened from her narcosis and heard that D&C had failed…
I’m European, with the benefits and problems of our public health system
I do not know very much about the US health care system but I suppose You mostly have private insurances. That is not usual in Scandinavia. We have high taxes and quite a good public health care with small cost to the patient. But our system has the problem of long queues even if the referral to the hospital is urgent. But…
New here so hello to all of you! Have a question
I am 49 years old. I had an endometrial ablation about 5 yrs ago for heavy periods. I went to my primary DR bc I was having right shoulder pain and right lung pain (right chest area). He ended up just giving me my routine yearly blood work and an X-ray of the shoulder and chest X-ray, all was fine except my Sed rate was…
Returning to the discussion board…feeling frustrated with my doctors!
It's been quite a few months since I've posted anything on the discussion...or even looked at the board! I stopped reading posts because some got a little depressing and some were just too overwhelming...and then I was just so disillusioned by my doctor that I kind of went into a "denial" phase! In January 2012 I was…
Fosomax
OK ladies, give me the pros and cons{know everyone is different}, but I think I'd rather break a hip than get jaw necrosis! And how big is 0.6cm? Thanks all, Debra
My beautiful mum has cancer & I'm scared....
Dear all you very brave ladies, Mums story.... June 2013 discovered an absess in her bowel due diverticulitis on scanning they found a malignant (stage 1a grade 3) endometrial polyp, which resulted in a total hysterectomy. The histology came back all clear. in Jan 2014 she was put in a waiting list for a bowel op and temp…
Has anyone ever had swollen feet?
I am a little scared because my right foot and ankle is very swollen.. and I am gaining weight after being done with chemo for 2 months now.. has anyone had this problem??
OK, officially freaking out!
MD Anderson sent my message to my onc about the node. They have me set up for 6 appointments June 13, June 26. Want bloodwork ASAP! Damn! I'm ok with the testing, but the two week wait ain't gonna cut it! Husband stoic. kids big-eyed, my mother bawling that I may be sick and she'll have to go into a home, ect! How likely…
New Ill-Defined Mass
I've had some minor pinching abdominal pain on my left side. I had been drinking a lot of raspberry lemonade up to a couple of months ago and thought the abdominal pain and worsened reflux was because of that. I thought I either gave myself something like gastritis or an ulcer, plus had my reflux, which I'm already on…
Do not know what happens, uncertainty is difficult
Principally I have no reason to get mad yet but I cannot concentrate on my work now today. I do not have any diagnosis yet. But my gynegologist looked worried because of the ultrasound during my routine visit for a couple of weeks ago. The endometrium had been 15 millimeter thick. I’ll go to the hospital in the beginning…
Have You a list of Phytoestrogen products, the are not good for everybody
Hi I was extremely surpriced when my gynegologist found by ultrasound my endometrial hyperplacia that can be cancer or ”only” a hyperplacia, a pre-stage of cancer, I’ll get to know it after I have had biopsy in the Juli. I do not belong to any typical risk group. I have eaten very healthy food, I do not consume much…
Worried. What were your symptoms/warning signs if you had any?
I orginally joined this discussion board because of my Dad as he has had 3 different types of cancer. Today, I am here because I am so worried for myself. I am 46 years old and for the last 2 ish years I have been dealing with what I thought were peri-menopausal things. My paps have always been good except one about 2 1/2…
Do they give paps when you have had a hysterectomy? Concerned
Hi all. I'm six months overdue for my cancer checkup and I am trying to get into a doctor because I've been having some familiar pains. However, I've decided to go to a different oncologist because my normal one didn't see me but sent in a NP who proceeded to give me a pap smear. I was confused about this because I have no…
Abdominal Blockage?
Hello fellow travelers, I'm bummed out, and could use a sympathetic ear. A bit of background: UPSC stage 4 due to swollen paraaortic lymph nodes that could not be removed. Total hysterectomy Nov 2012, chemo, and external IMRT radiation. NED CT Scan Dec 2013; but does say malrotated small bowel. Ever since surgery, then…
Need some advice...UPSC STAGE IIIC
My mother was diagnosed with UPSC stage 3c in august of 2013. She had 6 rounds of chemo and then radiation. By the end of radiation treatments (March 2014) she started to complain of neckaches. She put it off thinking that she would wait until her radiation was over to see a chiropractor. The neckache continued after…
Ugh! Symptoms - but where to go?
Ok. We all talk about symptoms. But I don't know where to turn with these one. I just called my gyne/onc and the PA indicated that she didn't feel that these symptoms had anything to do with a recurrence. Here's the symptoms: By the way, I am not on any medications except Motrin when needed Head area: left side headaches,…
New to this discussion board.
My story: Feb. thru May, 2013, I was either spotting or bleeding and I had been tracking it for another health condition I was suffering at the time. My PCP sent me to an ob/gyn. She did a pap test and it came back with two different atypical cells. Had a colposcopy in June, 2013 and they diagnosed it as endometrial…
CA -125 continues to rise
Went to the doctor and my marker went from 705 to 905. He gave me several options. When I came to Florida my marker was 712 from September so to raise only 200 points in 6 months is a slower rise, for me Than previously. 1) have a CAT scan and if it shows significant increase in lymph nodes, go back on Taxol/cisplatin. 2).…
How did you know you had a recurrence?
Ladies, for all of you out there who have had to deal with this, how did you find the cancer had reoccurred? I was fortunate to find my UPSC early at Stage 1A, but every now and then those little thoughts will creep in to my head and I have no idea what I should be looking for. I get the blood draw for CA125 and the…

Avastin
Anyone have this for recurrence? My good friend with UPSC has a recurrence again and her oncologist is treating her with Avastin this time. If any sign of continued growth, he will refer her to someone in San Francisco (UCSF I think). I'm just curious what you all may know about Avastin for uterine cancer. She said onc…
Marker continues to rise
Went to the doctor this week. My CA 125 went from 905 to 1441. I was hoping for less than 1200. I continue to feel good and have no symptoms. The doctor was not concerned about the number. He said he has seen the number go to 100,000 on some people before they need treatment. He talked about when the number doubles, that…
I may have a problem
Need some info. Just had my 4 year checkup for UPSC. All seems well, ca125 is 15.8 down 2 points. Had to see an Internal dr. for DEXA scan. Ok, nothing scheduled as of today{I went in May 14}. Reading his report today he wants to order a thyroid ultrasound because of "a rubbery thyroid and a suspicious node on the…
