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!

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…

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…
Just found out yesterday
Hello everyone - just found yesterday that I have uterine serous carcinoma. Don’t know the stage or much else at this time. I just found this site and have learned so much! I am 73 years old and have had some symptoms for several months. This is how it started: I’m really active physically and noticed during personal…

Elevated CA125 and Scans
Sorry all but I I edited this post as I was not comfortable with it showing up in a Google search and I just had a couple of hours left to do so. I truly appreciate all your responses.
Endometrial biopsy out of the blue....very scared
Hi......I am waiting for my biopsy results and am feeling petrified. I went for my yearly check up last week and the gynecologist found my endometrium to be 8.9mm thick..I'm 61 and and have been post menopausal for 6 years....I have no symptoms, no bleeding and so was so shocked. I had the biopsy done then and there…
My cancer journey So far.
Hello I actually posted once on here before, back in early 2021. I figured I give an update on my journey and the confusing things I dealt with. My backstory I was officially diagnosed with stage one endometriosis cancer stage one after having a long continuous bleeding issue. The symptoms started July 2020 (I know right?)…
Rant of the day
Got up at 4:30 this morning for the drive to my Cancer Center. Long drive, icy roads. Lab work, visit with my oncologist, infusion room crowded and a long wait for the pharmacy to get my Keytruda ready. Back hurts because of my SI joint. So. I am already tired and a liitle grumpy. The phone rings and it is a women from the…

5/3/22 Update to My Possible EC Thread
I just wanted to give an update to my previous thread and thank you all for your words of encouragement! I had to step away from this forum as it was very overwhelming to me. My ECC on 4/8 came back clear so we moved forward with surgery. I am now 6 days post robotic-assisted hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy.…
