Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

Lynch people: Are you taking aspirin? how much? and any kind of monitoring?
I'm curious what other Lynch patients have decided to do re: taking aspirin and if their drs have recommended any kind of monitoring along with it. Following in the wake of CAPP2 I'm taking 2 325 mg aspirin a day after taking to my oncologist about it, but she seemed a little unsure of what to recommend - she more or less…

I have been having heavy bleeding with very large clots (sometimes the size of a apple) for about 3 years now and have been admitted and given blood transfusions twice, the last time which was the third time I had a d n c. I went to the doctor yesterday for my post op and he did an ultrasound and says I have an enlarged…
New Appointment
I have a first appointment with an intergrative(sp) doctor at MD Anderson May 21. Any questions I should ask, if so what, or should I just listen to what he has to say for the first visit? This kind of doctor is new to me and I am VERY out of my element. I had to ask for this type of appointment since no one has ever said…
Is Sugar Toxic?
Dr Sanja Gupta, 60 Minutes, reports on new research showing that beyond weight gain, sugar can take a serious toll on your health, worsening conditions ranging from heart disease to cancer. Approx 7.45 minutes into the video the subject gets more specific to cancer. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7403942n

extreme fatigue after radiation?
My Mom had 10 treatments of radiation that ended a week ago. Now she can barely stay awake. Is this normal? She falls asleep while people are talking to her sometimes too. Her legs have so much lymphedema that they are now giving out on her. I guess that's the reason. Guess it could be fatigue or the tumors in her…
Probiotics
I am wondering if any of you have strong feelings about probiotics and their usefulness in promoting overall health. In particular, I'm interested in facts or opinions about their ability to support or negate the impact of an alkaline or anticancer diet. Currently, I am taking two capsules a day of Nutrition Now's…
High grade endometrial stromal sarcoma - just diagnosed, scared, need support...anyone have anything
Hi, I'm new here and like many of you, I never thought I would be on this page looking for information or support. I'm 39, I turn 40 in about 17 days. Happily married for the past 5+ years and have a 3 year old daughter whom the husband and I adore. I just had a hysterectomy on Jan 10, 2012 and was told I have high grade…
More resources
I know we have, or I know I have, posted some titles I have watched on Cancer cure. One of them is Forks Over Knives. I just finished watching Dying to Have Known. Great information. If you have Netflix, it is in streaming.
Dreams & Cancer
Last night I to felt some pain in my hip that kept me up for the better part of the night. Even though I spent much of the day walking and working on the yard, I immediately attributed the pain to a re-occurrence. When I did manage to fall asleep, I had a dream that in the light of day doesn't sound too menacing but left…

doctor guess?
can a doctor tell if you have cancer just by looking at your uterus?
Like HESTKP, I was recently diagonsis on 3/9/2012
On March 9th I received a call from my Gyno's office that I had appointment with her at 11:15 that morning. I had a vaginal ultrasound and biopsies done on(3/2) following my routine check up the week before. Knew a phone call telling me I had an appointment could not be good. Today was to be my first visit with the…
Had first day of 3rd chemo
Was another long day. We left at 5:15 a.m. for 6:30 lab, 7:30 Dr's appointment and then 9:00a.m. infusion chair. Of course it takes an hour after you are in the chair to get any medications started. We got home about 6:00 p.m. My blood counts remain good, and so do the liver enzymes . The best news though is that the CA…
Water
Just wondering about the water filtering. We have well-water that has no chemicals in it except what God put there(at least that I know of). Do you all think I still need a filter for the tap water? If so, what kind do you all recomend? Thanks, debrajo
Lifestyle Changes - Food & Vitamins & Supplements
I was recently in a conversation with my chemo nurse, who is very knowledgable & extremely dedicated to answering any questions/explaining issues her chemo patients may have. If she doesn't know the answer, she discusses w/the doctor and gets back to them. I recently had a discussion about lifestyle changes I was trying to…
Phase 1 chemo done
First 3 rounds of chemo completed. Now on to the next new experience----radiation. I have an appointment with the radiation oncologist next Wednesday. 5 days/6 weeks. With gas prices this high....eew. My gyn/ponc and infusion center is 25 miles. Luckily, the hospital as and outpatient about 12 muliles from me. That will…
UPSC=?
I have a question: I know this upsc is rare, was told it's really 1 in 1,000,000. I was also told there is no genetic link, no family link, no life-style link, no enviromental link, nor anything else that causes this. All this by the doctors. Also no drug just for UPSC, very little research being done, and no trial studies…

Products
Can some of you recommend a really good, and good tasting olive oil? I've been using Bertolli Extra Virgin, but it doesn't even smell or taste like olive oil(which I love). Also, a face soap. I've used Dove for years, but my skin is so dry it is literly flaking into my eye(especially since my eyelashes never grew back).…
Anticancer recipes and menu planning
On another thread, I shared the following: "Is there some way that we could create a thread where we post what we are eating each day? Would that clog up the board? Would anyone be interested? I am just so badly in need of diet partners to help me stay on track. I believe in the power of food the way in which others might…
External radiation - 1 week down, 4 1/2 to go - so far, uneventful
After 3 rounds of carbo/taxol chemo for UPSC 1A, I started external radiation last week. Had to suffer some indignities for simulation/set up (my 'changing room' is a tech holding up a hand towel; got all sorts of markers inserted in the va-jay-jay with various techs in the room; had photos taken while half-naked lying on…
new to forum
I just joined this forum and wanted to share my story. I was diagnosed with Endometroid adenocarcinoma stage 1a grade 2 in January. The tumor was confined to the uterus with no myometrial invasion and all nodes were negative. But the pelvic wash came back positive. My Gyn/onc believes that cells were washed out into the…
Aspirin
In a news artical in our local paper, the newest "weapon" in the drug war to defeat cancer is plain old aspirin. The amounts of aspirin is not known yet and they are not saying it will prevent cancer, but it has already been proven to stop or slow down the spread of all types of cancer, especialy breast, lung, colon, and…
Tofu
Should women who have had a cancer that contains both UPSC cells and endometriod adenocarcinoma avoid soy? That's my diagnosis, and for almost four years I have been diligent about cutting out foods like tofu. However, after going from a mostly vegetarian diet to eating chicken and occasional meat, I want to return to a…
Genetically Modified Food
Interesting article about research and Monsanto and damage to our kidneys. Please read labels and don't buy anything that has "GMO" (genetically modified) on it. There are plenty of labels with that on it!! http://redgreenandblue.org/2012/03/14/new-study-monsantos-toxins-kill-human-kidney-cells/
Acid Alkaline info
I had the pleasure of Vicki Newman's Fighting Cancer with Your Fork presentation yesterday at our Gyn CA Support Grp and found some of her lectures available on youtube. One in particular does a good job explaining acid-alkaline balance in our diet and associated health issues ...…
Good news with lung mets from Megace treatment (and complementaries)--closer to official NED
I have good news to share. I had my latest set of CT scans on Monday--chest, abdomen, pelvis. There is nothing new showing in my abdomen or pelvis, so that's great--the second scan in a row with nothing suspicious (my September scan did show enlarged lymph nodes, including the one in my pelvis that was only resectable…
