Post Chemo aches and pains
These post taxol/carbo aches, pains and twinges are annoying! Just saying. Like clockwork they start Friday afternoon and continue for about 72 hours. I wonder what actually causes this.
I got a promotion, of sorts...

She has been so fantastic during this entire ordeal and decided to give me the position even though I have been gone so much. I've been…
Curious
I read the posts and find that most of you have several CAT/Pet/ MRI'S. Except for right before surgery when I had an MRI, I have never had another scan of any kind. Is this normal? I have the CA125, Pap, internal check, but that's it. Even on my first year anniversary and the second year....just wondering? Best debrajo
how many of you are peri-menopausel?
I am a breast cancer survivor, and am currently taking tamoxifen which although small increases our risk of Uterine cancer. On another forum someone posted about an article by the director of MO of an SF Bay Area cancer center: If a patient is premenopausal and continues to menstruate on tamoxifen, which happens quite…

What should I request?
I am having my one year mark appointment with my oncologist on Friday. A few months ago, he told me he was going to order a PET scan. I received an approval from my insurance to have a CT scan of my chest, abdomen and pelvis. PET and CT scans are not the same, right? I am going to call my doctor on Tuesday to request a PET…

How is recurrent adenocarcinoma different than MMMT and UPSC?
I've just been diagnosed with recurrent endometrial cancer. My original treatment was in 2005 with hysterectomy and pelvic radiation. I was Stage IC, FIGO Grade 2. I have been encouraged to considered myself "cured," even immediately after my first treatment. I had regular exams and chest x-ray annually until 2010, and…
Biopsy negative
Got my biopsy results today. I was told by phone they were negative but the doctor did not get a complete sample. (I haven't had children so it was difficult to get to the upper end of my uterus. I've read here about others with a similar experience.) I've been off birth control pills for a year or so. The GYN wants to put…
Mom Has UPSC - Just Need to Talk
Hi Everyone, I've posted once about my mother. She was diagnosed about 5 months ago, and she will probably not make it much longer. It's really unbelievable how quickly things have progressed with her cancer. Unfortunately her cells are very chemo-resistant and she did not handle the chemo well. Well, she didn't handle the…

Consumer Reports article on health-care costs
I'm new here so not sure if this is appropriate.

Uterine cancer metastasized to lung & stomach
On Friday my daughter will have uterine surgery at Kaiser Sacramento. Does anyone know how long after the operation Chemo or radiation would begin? The doctor is not forthcoming with information and just says one step at a time. Terry
Doxil and/or Gemzar and Radiation

She has had two surgeries, as her cancer recurred before…
