Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

POSSIBLE UTERINE POLYP MY MOTHER DIED AT 49 IN 4 MONTHS FROM ENDOMETRIAL CANCER!
Hi, Below is a post I made on the HysterSisters site.

Newly diagnosed with a recurrent Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma
First, thank you all for contributing, listening, and encouraging. I had a total laporoscopic hysterectomy in 2019 as a postmenopausal woman, after lots of bleeding, pain, and misery -eventually several biopsies found the cancer. It was stage 1a and my doctor did no other treatments after the surgery. I had been going for…
Back home from surgery!
Hi All: Well my surgery went well. Unfortunately they were unable to do it laparoscopically due to how much scar tissue I had so they had to do an incision. It is higher up that my previous ones. They removed scar tissue and also removed a piece of my small bowel which seemed to have been stuck which may have been causing…
DAK <3 Our Deb 1
Dear Deb 1, I know you're very busy taking care of yourself, and I was afraid that it would be hard for you to find a note from me, and perhaps from all of us. I know others who love you may add a note below. I just want you to know I am so grateful for all the love and encouragement I've gotten from you in this last year.…
another NED
Sorry I haven't been able to post an update before now. It has just been a crazy busy week. However, I really wanted to share with my fellow "cancer warriors" the good news.

After you read it in the site, you can "click" the applause button at the bottom of the article up to 50 times, which helps bump me up the food chain as a writer. If you like it, thanks.

Keeping our mental game strong during treatment
One challenge I faced during chemo was my head game, so I thought I'd start a thread on this to gather experience and wisdom from all of us who have been through it. Maybe future visitors will benefit. By "head game," I mean the mental "game" that helps us navigate very difficult circumstances. I don't mean toxic…

Hi, Ladies I have a 9mth post-treatment follow-up appointment tmo at ONC’s office. When I called today, I was told I would be seeing the PA.

New Site Format Question
I am having a hard time with the way the site was redesigned. Is it just me or is is there no longer a way to jump to new comments on a post? Also do posts and replies no longer show the date and time? It seems like when you go to read new comments to a post that when you click on the post it takes you to the original post…
