Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

CT results not good
Hi everyone, Well after 8 rounds of carbo/taxol I had a CT scan and got the results this week. The tumors responded to the first 4 rounds..shrunk over 40%...but not so well after. Two of the three tumors have started growing again and it also looks like it has invaded my bladder. I am being sent to OHSU for a consult on…
aromatase inhibitors
Can someone please give me some advice. I live in Austalia and have been reading the discussions on this site for the past couple of weeks and you all seem so knowledgeable about your diagnosis and treatments. I am feeling helpless and not sure what to do. I was diagnosed with grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma which had…

A wonderful day to all!
To all my "sisters" have a great day and a wonderful start to the new week. I have a family bridal shower today and I am so looking forward to seeing cousins I was so close too and haven't seen in years. Cancer has given me new persepectives in having connections to those you love. Hugs to all, Pat
My Mother has UPSC uterine cancer - Scared
Hi All, My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 UPSC in Jan. 2012. Tonight, I am in her hospital room wondering if she will make it through the night. She went through 3 rounds of carbo/taxol and it did nothing...cancer still progressed. They gave her a treatment of doxorubicin a few weeks ago, and I believe that's what has…
Had last chemo for this round
Had a CAT scan last week which showed significant reduction in all of the enlarged lymph nodes. It did not address the blood clots in the lungs though. The doctor said it takes a special test to show the blood clots. It was just an accident that the caught the blood clot on the other CAT scan. My marker went from 81.2 to…
The intergrative Doctor...again!
Lab's just in: Besides taking me off all supplements(Cur cumin, Pepper, Black Raspberries,ect) he has now taken me off ALL B-vitamins, Folic Acid, Iron,and my regular multivitamin, and has me on D-3 only. Maybe it's me, but fatigue has hit me like a brick wall! Said the T-3 thyroid was normal but the other TH(something, I…
Only 5 Chemo Treatments???
Today Mom went in to have her sixth and final chemo treatment, but when we told her dr about how she almost passed out last night after taking a bath. I don't know whether she got overheated, low hemoglobin or what, but her dr said we should just stop at 5. My Mom does have multiple health problems such as chronic kidney…
Does this happen to anyone else?
It's the middle of the night and I just raked up enough courage to ask this. Does anyone else have a severe aversion to intimacy..of any kind? I find that being touched by anyone, anywhere, is absolutely repulsive to me. The very thought of having sex or a routine check-up makes me sick to my stomach. Even a hug from one…
Confused about CA125
I'm really confused as to if the CA125 was a good marker for my Mom. She's always had low numbers, prior to her surgery it was 9, and after each chemo is was either 6,5,or 4. This last one was 3. So after reading some of your posts, I'm just wondering was this test a good marker for her because her numbers didn't change…
Probably a dumb question, but......
Ok, I have UPSC(1a,c). I was told I have a good chance to not reoccur and if it has been five years I am considered "cured". I was also told that if I do reoccur it will be considered "incurable" just treatable. Is this correct? Aren't there too many variables, such as where, how much,personal condition,ect? Best, debrajo

The Board
Somebody said to me yesterday, what I am going through is not fair and I don't deserve it. My response was none of us, any of the children, NOBODY deserves this....and, I DO NOT walk this road alone.

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…
