CA125 38
Hi everyone, Has anyone had a spike in their CA125 to 38 and had a clean PET scan before? Is it possible that the spike is from something other than the cancer considering how close it is to the normal range? or has anyone had a general spike of 15 points and it been ok? Thank you in advance for your responses Tali

CHEMO *** RADIATION ***CHEMO
I'm currently receiving my third round of chemo (three day treatments) and have tolerated it very well, but after this round I will be getting at least 25 rounds of radiation which will push my next chemo until late December at the earliest and more likely January. Apparently I will have to wait three weeks after this…
The Cancer Project
Check out www.cancerproject.org After reading an article in our local newspaper I signed up for "Food for Life" cooking classes sponsored by the Cancer Project. I had heard of this program several months ago on TV but this group had no local programs then, but happily now they do. There is the website with recipes and…
Fevers
Hello, I've had fairly high fevers for the last two months. Some of them have been attributed to a problem I was having with my kidney and two UT infections. I've been on antibiotics for three weeks, which cleared up the infections but has still left me with fevers. My oncologist is now attributing them to the…

Mother's CT Scan revealed cancer...any pre-treatment suggestions?
My mother has a family history of cancer of the female parts on both her mother's and father's side. Her CT Scan reveals cancer in her uterus, cervix, lungs, liver and blood vessels, but they haven't done a biopsy to pinpoint exactly what kind of cancer it is, though I have a feeling it will be uterine. She will see an…
Need to share this - CT scan results
Well ladies, on October 4th I had a CT scan done. I was really nervous about this CT scan since my last scan was November of 2010 and I was to have another scan done in June. So it was almost 11 months. But as some of you know, I changed insurance companies and my new company wont accept my doctor in network or approve PET…
Some thoughts on our purpose
I have been thinking about some of the recent postings and have decided that maybe I have lost sight of what this Board is all about. I had thought it was an avenue to offer support and encouragement to other women dealing with uterine cancer, to share new ideas about treatment options, to learn about cutting edge research…
claudia--a couple questions.....
hi claudia, i. too, sometimes forget who i've said what to, or where i've read what. i do remember now, however, that you said after your surgery two nodes became enlarged (almost exactly the size as mine), but stopped growing once you started your tumeric/ginger/green tea, etc., routine, which is what i'm hoping will…
To Linda P.

High Potassium
I had blood work a couple of days ago, and my PCP called me today to tell the my Potassium was high. He did not say how high. He recommended me to not eat much of food high in Potassium, which is hard since leafy greens are high in Potassium and I eat lot of it. I have read that chemo can cause this, but also a…
Celebrating 2 yrs since surgery and staging
Hard to imaging that it has been two years since my surgery and staging.

Now 2 yrs later, one grandbaby, new business, numerous days of feeling wonderful, I can say…

Neuropathy
I finished taxol #6 on time; had somewhat of a reaction but my daughter flew home and cooked three meals a day and poured fluids into me. We watched videos in the afternoon and talked in between naps. One thing I have learned from this cancer is how much I love my family and how much they love me brings tears to my eyes! I…

Only Child Asks About Single Mother with UPSC
Dear All, I see all the love and encouragement and thought I would take this first step in giving and receiving. I wanted some of your perspective on two things: 1. I am an only child with a single mother. I am in my 30's, she in her 60's. No siblings and my father passed when I was 15. I have no wife, girlfriend or kids.…
Eating Yogurt
I am having the hardest time gaining weight, because I cannot eat the minimum about of calories or proteins. I saw my nutritionist today, and she told me I needed to eat more protein. I do not eat any red or white meat, dairy or processed sugar. So, that includes yogurt. Does anyone of you eat organic Greek yogurt? My…
Soooo.....Dumb question number one....HAIR
I've been encouraged to ask questions. even dumb ones, so here we go. I am currently about 16 days past my first round of chemo and my hair is falling out. It seems that most women shave their head when they start losing their hair but I am being bullheaded about it and it has nothing to do with being able to create hair…
