Comprehensive Update--Good News!--Almost NED (only two small lung nodules to go)--through Megace and
I don’t post as often as I’d like here, mostly because I’ve been preoccupied with searching out (and implementing) treatment strategies. But I do lurk, and I wanted to share my recent good news with you. I think the last time I posted anything was in relation to seeking a second opinion. I did that because I was frustrated…
Here's that very promising study regarding taking turmeric when one is taking Taxol to up the effect
[My comments: I do think this is worth reading. Talks of turmerics beneficial use in conjunction with Taxol. the spaces in the article were put there by me so it would be easier to see why you might be interested, everything else in the same. I thought I had posted this but didn't see it anywhere. Might be something to…
Found this news from Science Daily on the effects of cruciferous veggies on p53 gene interesting
Most UPSC has the mutant p53 gene. If you have your path report it might say something like stained positive for p53. Which means it stained positively for the mutant version. This is encouraging news on possibilities to turn it back to basically "normal status". The p53 gene is the one that looks around cells to see if…

Stage 2 UPSC - What is the outlook?
My wife was diagnosed last summer with UPSC with clear cell features. She has had a full hysterectomy, including the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, etc. on Aug. 31. At that time she was told that she is Stage 2A. She is nearing the completion of 6 rounds of carboplatin / taxol chemo. The next step is radiation. We have not yet…
Biopsy today - some new info and questions
Hi all, I started posting/reading about 2 weeks ago and have already learned so much from all of you. The information, while distressing at times, has also given me comfort as I wait to see what is going on. I also feel it is so mush more authoritative than the typlical WebMD entry. My update: Today my doc told me they…
Manicures & Pedicures
Okay Ladies, I know on the scale of things small to large, this is trivial...but I am curious. I used to love getting my nails and feet done, (pedicures and acrylics) but thought I heard we who are going through treatment should steer clear. Have you all heard that? Now assume I go to someone who uses my own kit (like I…

Reaction to Taxol
I just tried to have my second treatment on chemo. At my cancer center, when Taxol is started, it is dripped very slowly for 20 minutes and then the rate is increased. As soon as the rate was increased, I got really red and itchy and my heart rate dropped. The nurses were there in a second and took care of everything, but…
Good News for Lovers of Earl Grey Tea
Just bought a new tea called "Green Earl Greyer" by Republic of Tea. Was intrigued that green tea had been combined with bergamot oil, the essential flavoring in Earl Grey tea. Also recalled that Dr. Russell Blaylock had said that NO tea is more powerful against cancer than a combination of green and black. But fearing…
Vitamin D3 and cancer
Is anyone else taking Vit D3-cholecalciferol? There’re compelling data to support its effect against cancer; he (Garland) hypothesizes at any stage. The amount he recommends is having a serum blood level of 40-60ng/ml 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D]. Vitamin D Prevents Cancer: Is It True? – This video is for the lay person…

Biopsy and Surgical Tissues Completely Different
Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone else found that their original biopsy and later the tissues removed during surgery contained completely different kinds of uterine cancer? My original biopsy showed endometroid cancer with clear cell features and was classified high-grade. But the surgery revealed no clear cell in the…

Survived Breast Cancer four years ago.... now Uterine cancer
I am sincerely hoping I don't find about the "third time being the charm" having just gone through my second bout with cancer. First time was breast cancer four years ago (mammogram was normal until I asked about a suspicious mass under my armpit). This time pap smear was normal but I insisted on a sonogram which showed…

An excerpt from the obituary of one of founders of stress/illness link...I didn't even know his name until now.

Uterine Carcinosarcoma - December 2010
Hi, I just finished my second round of chemo. I honestly feel good and surprisingly gaining my stamina back. I had emergency surgery in mid October 2010 where I had a complete hysterectomy and was told I was Stage III C. Very little data seems available about this rare cancer and so when I found this site I was encouraged…

Ultrasound Report - can someon interpret?
I was diagnosed in September 2010 with uterine cancer. Full hysterectomy in October 2010. I have had some bleeding and the gyno/onco can't seem to figure out why. He sent me for an ultrasound which came back completely normal. One thing piqued my interest -- the ultrasound report says the following: Collateral EPR History:…
CA125 nadir after successful recurrence treatment compared with that at the conclusion of the succes
Those of you who have recurred and then went into remission, was your CA125 at the end of the successful recurrence treatment lower, higher, or about the same as it was when you first went into remission? More broadly, if you had multiple remissions, do the CA125 nadir value after each successful treatment vary?
For Linda
Seems strange, but I've just found out about Linda. I found Linda and this website when my sister had her first reoccurance of uterine cancer, 4 months after her surgery. It was Linda and all of you warrior sisters that helped me help my sister. I think I knew that Linda was very close to her new begining that kept me…
