leg & back pain
Has anyone had severe back and leg pain? I am so scared because it hurts so bad. I have burning pain in my rt leg from my hip throuogh the knee into my foot.

Hello!
Hi! I have been reading this board for awhile, and just recently joined. I have posted a couple of comments, but thought perhaps an introduction was in order! I just finished one year of chemotherapy with taxotere and carboplatin (I was allergic to taxol), for stage 3 grade 3 endometrial cancer. We didn't expect it to take…

Anybody having stress bladder incontinence after pelvic radiation.
I have been having stress incontinence for the past couple of months. Started with a nasty sinus infection where I was caughing and sneezing up a storm. I read where this is fairly common after pelvic radiation. I don't have any bleeding or vaginal discharge just the occasional loss of bladder control when I cough. I was…

fatigue or depression
Hi ladies, I have been on doxil since late Sept. and have been dealing with extreme fatigue since then. My doctor thought I should take an antidepressant which I have been on for 3.5 weeks and actually more fatigued/depressed. I am now referred for counseling which I am not opposed to. I think I am worse mentally - I have…
Minimal rise in CA 125
Had my doctor's appointment this week. It was 5 weeks since my last marker was done. It was 357 last time and 360 this time. I cold not believe it was such a small increase. My lab was not back yet when I saw the doctor. So he ordered a CAT scan to be done the end of January which would be three months from the last one,…

Any advice about what to ask him for specifically, what tests I might need to push for, etc., would be SO helpful and appreciated. Here's what's going on. I'm only 26, mother of…
I Have Questions
A few months ago I started feeling like I was coming down with the flu and was having stabbing pains that would come and go. I never got the flu, never got a fever and the pains got bad enough that I ended up in the ER. I was expecting to have something like a kidney infection... drs ran blood work that came back all…

New mets to lungs and liver
Hi, this is my first post, although I have been reading for a while now. My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 grade 3 adenocarcinoma. She was treated with 3 rounds of tax/carbo, radiation and then 3 more chemo rounds. After this she took 6 weeks off treatment and then had a CT and pet scan. These scans showed some regression…
Colposcopy Procedure
I had my yearly OB appt in December. Today my doc called and informed me of my pap showing something "possibly" abnormal. Informed me nothing showed up but I'm on the border line. Now if I didn't have cancer 2 years ago he'd suggest I wait and not see him until a year from now. But...in my case he want's to be sure there's…
Abnormal pap
Has anyone had a abnormal Pap test after follow up care, post chemo and radiation? And what was the outcome? I am 1 yr post TAH.
Turmeric Recipes and Supplements
I am trying to incorporate more turmeric into my diet. Do any of you ladies have some recipes to share? I asked jazzy1 for her turmeric salad dressing recipe on another thread, and now I don't remember which thread it was, so I can't check for an answer! But any and all ways to use turmeric would be appreciated! My…
MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER HAS GONE TO REST!!!!!
Friends, my beautiful girl has gone to rest. Monday at 9:45 my daughter rested her head in my hands and peacefully fell asleep in death. She struggled for one year to date but lost the battle. Our Congregation, family, friends and the hospital stood up for us to the end. She will be cremated tomorrow. We will be having a…
Post-treatment CT Scan
I had my first post-chemo and vaginal brachytherapy visit with my GYN oncologist, who is an amazing doctor and person who graduated from Harvard Medical School. I had stage 1 UPSC. I told her that I was concerned that my oncologist had told me that I would not be getting CAT scans because it seems like most of the UPSC…
Cancer Research Antineoplaston
Have anyone read or watch the DVD about Dr. Burzynski cancer treatment? I just finished watching it in Netflix. Of all the cancer research I did before treatment, and continue doing, I never heard of Antineoplaston A10. Mainly, the type of cancer treated is brain cancer, but apparently it might work with other different…

MMMT Stage 3a
My mother was diagnosed with uterine carsinosarcoma - MMMT - we just got the pathology back from the surgery and they said it is stage 3a. The surgeon didn't take any lymph nodes during surgery - she thought it was stage 1c after the surgery. When she talked to us she didn't really explain that the new staging meant that…
New to this board but not new to cancer
Hi folks, I can normally be found on the colorectal board, as I had a rectal tumor diagnosis 3 years ago this month. I had extensive surgery and have been doing well since then. Today I join you not as a patient with Uterine cancer but as a caregiver. In October my sister was diagnosed with it and had extensive surgery.…

She had 28 external beam radiation treatments, ending two days ago, and had side effects from day 1. This past week…
