Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

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.
Hi Linda: I believe you were to have a CT scan today. I hope all went well. I know you probably won't get your results for a few days. My best to you. Kathy
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. Stage IIIC Grade 2.(details in bio) At the time I did not see my future as being very bright, although determined that come what may I was going to endure. Now 2 yrs later, one grandbaby, new business, numerous days of feeling wonderful, I can say…
My mother was recently diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma
My mother, two years shy of fifty, was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma (mucinous differentiation, grade 1) on September 26th. Having suffered bouts of abnormal bleeding and pelvic pressure, my mother informed our family physician who promptly ordered a biopsy. This Friday, the seventh of October, my mother will…
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…
Trials and alternates for UPSC
So there is a genetic trial for Ovarian cancer going on at Penn. But what other things are happening for UPSC? What are you doing? We want to launch a trial for UPSC and related. No one seems to be paying attention to us? Any action on that front? Lets mobilize now! Reply here if you agree. There are new and good models…
odd prickly/slightly stinging sensations in pelvic/abdomen area?
sisters, wish i'd kept track of these sensations, but i've had them before. they come and go. my partner thinks they're nerves regenerating after surgery/chemo, i think they could represent new growths. in any case, wondering if anyone else has experienced them, and if so, when in relation to surgery or chemo? thanx and…

Finished four Carbo/Taxol/ two Carbo-Doxil eight months ago. Changed diet to reflect Servan-Screiber's Anti Cancer book, exercise on treadmill…

Seeking comfort
I'd like to say how amazing this network is. I am sure that all the support shared is source of optimism for all - as it has been for me in the case of my sister. I'd like to post some details on her case and would be grateful if anyone listening can offer some encouraging words. My sister is 68 years old and was diagnosed…
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…
Should I be alarmed? stomach cramps - vomiting
About a month and a half ago while at work and after we all came back from lunch, I started getting cramps which progressively got worse over the next several until eventually I vomited several times. After that I was ok. At that time I thought I had just gotten some food poisoning. Last Monday, it happened again. Not as…
Developed Pulmonary Embolus (Blood Clot) to Lung
Hello Dearest Friends, I developed two blood clots to my lung and we discovered it Tuesday. I had a spiral CT in the ER which identified the two clots and ultrasound of the legs; the clot started with a small blood clot under my left knee. My symptoms were not sudden or dramatic; I had been developing slight shortness of…
new article out today in OncologySTAT on endometrial cancer
It's so RARE to have new research published on endometrial cancer, that I wanted to share some of the highlights of this new article that came out today. If anyone wants to read the whole article, I saved it since the URL was password protected and I wasn't sure you would be able to access it without OncologySTAT…
Financial setback after cancer treatment
I'm not sure if this is the place to get started on this topic, but you all have become my friends; and I'd rather have your support than the support of strangers. When I was diagnosed with UPSC in March 2008, I stopped working. I am a freelance writer/editor, which for me is very intense work that requires total…
To :Linda P.

Hi you mentioned the rock band NED and the six surgeons. I responded to your post, but I don't even know if you read it. be well June
Taking a break from the boards
I've decided that I have been spending way too much time here. Mostly, it's because I've made such terrific friends, people I don't really have to explain myself to. However, I've been obsessive about my reading and posting, and I have been avoiding so much of the rest of my life. That being said, I will be making an…
Full hysterectomy and epidurals
It looks like I might be headed for a full hysterectomy soon but because of heart damage from prior chemo drugs etc. they won't let me have a general anaesthetic so are suggesting an epidural. Has anyone here had a full hysterectormy with an epidural? How was it? Thanks.
New Here
Hi everyone, I just registered and have not done the "about me" page yet. Just thought I would say hello. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer last december and had a robotic hysterectomy with no further treatment since they thought they got it all. Unfortunately it has come back and I now I have three large tumors in my…
Wheatgrass
Anyone growing or had grown wheatgrass? I am about to order a kit and some extra seeds and soil, but I do not know the difference between hard red organic wheat seeds and just organic seeds. Anyone knows the difference?

Good results from today's checkup
Today, I had my six-month checkup with my gyne-onc. It has been two years and ten months since I finished six rounds of carbo/taxol and brachytherapy for Stage 1a UPSC, and my doctor said everything looks great. I was terrified for weeks before this appointment, so I am happy to report these results. Love to all, Jill
signs of recurrence
Hi all, I'm basically new to this board, and apologize if this has been discussed already. I'm diagnosed with UPSC, stage 1 or 2, to my oncologists best judgement. No lymph nodes were sampled, but scans are clear and nothing detected in pelvic wash. When my hysterectomy was performed,(including the fallopian tubes and…
Heparin flush for port--maybe not a good idea?
I posted this on the ovarian cancer discussion board and thought this board might be interested in this information: Information about heparin promoting neoangiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels) is in the Aug/Sept 2011 issue of the Townsend Letter. The article is all about how WONDERFUL heparin and something called…
