Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

Still Going Strong
I haven't posted for too long, so I thought I would update. I was diagnosed with uterian cancer in fall of 2009 and had a da Vinci hysterectomy removing everything in Jan 2010 and the cancer was only in my uterus lining, so no chemo. I didn't have the aggressive kind, just adenocarcenoma, and the lowest stage, etc. They…

Undifferentiated carcinoma
Hi, My mother (65) was diagnosed on 14/02/13 and the histopathology report states: "I think it is a Undifferentiated carcinoma. The EUA and the imaging suggest that this is a uterine carcinoma". The Oncologist has not given me a grade or stage despite me asking several times (in writting). I can guess from reading the CT…

Lymphadema
Hello Ladies, Wondering if others have/had lymphadema, how troubling is it, and what you do to relieve the symptoms. I asked about lymphadema before my surgery - total hysterectomy with some lymph nodes removed. The surgeon told me that it does occur, but not frequently. Before discharge a lymphadema OT came by to talk…

Waiting on Results
First, thank you all for sharing on this site as it's aready been so helpful. So far my story sounds very similar to others which is comforting to know what I've been dealing with is pretty 'normal'.

Anyone with Stage 1a UPSC?
When I was diagnosed in March 2008, I began extensive research to determine what I believed to be the most effective treatment and the likely prognosis for this subset of uterine papillary serous carcinoma. Some studies indicate that observation could be considered for this stage, but the most recent study--at MD…
third clear scan in a row!
Dear everyone, On Monday morning I had my 7th CT scan, and I learned late that afternoon that I am still in remission. No sign of disease, and my CA-125 remains stable at about 9.6. Whoo-hoo! I feel very lucky indeed. The most interesting part of the process this time is that when I was in the scanner (with my healing…

heavy bleeding from vaginal tear
Two years this month since diagnosed with UPSC and I just had a huge scare. After using the dialator I began to bleed terribly. It wouldn't stop and I immediately called the doctor. Long story, but ended up being rushed to the cancer center. I was treated with silver nitrate to stop the bleeding and had to stay there for…
New Insurance -- Get Ready
I'm on another message board for cancer and a woman who's a health insurance advocate posted what she has learned about this forthcoming insurance craze. No matter whom I speak with, no one truly knows how this will all pan out, plus betting our gov't doesn't quite know. Now doesn't that make any US citizen feel comforted,…

When I got home, I started to read the information and side…
Not at Death's Door
