No residual Mullarian adenosarcoma in path report
Had total hysterectomy for Mullarian adenosarcoma on July 12. Path report came back. There was no cancer found anywhere. Doc thinks cancer was contained in the polyp that was removed in my original D & C. He says I don't need to see him for a year. I told him I would feel better seeing him in 6 mos. I am having a hard time…
anyone with upsc stage 3/4 NOT had a recurrence
sisters, since i think stage is the definitive aspect of whether we have a recurrence or not, i'd be extremely interested to know if anyone has been diagnosed with either stage 3 or 4 upsc who has not had a recurrence. hopefully, there are some of you out there. unfortunately, on this site it seems that many if not most of…

What to do when you're new to all this, a response from Karen, taken from another thread.
This is a post by Karen from another thread, but was so pertinent I thought it deserved its own posting. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful. You want to have your surgery done by a GYN Oncologist so if you are seeing a regular GYN, ask for recommendations and then do some research on the ones suggested. Talk to…
When did your cancer reocurr? And where?
Hi ladies. Please give your stage and grade and how many months or years when you had a reoccurence and where it reoccurred. Thanks.
Gemzar
Has anyone had experience with gemzar? Everything I read on the net sounds so gruesome. Topetocan did not work for me. It was the easiest chemo I've ever taken so I was disappointed. I start this week and I'm so nervous. I know someone took this, I thought it was Up so Lifting but I can remember; I know it was a positive…
Taxol UPSC please reply re: side effects!
My 78 year old mother has tolerated her previous treatments quite well in past 3 years (carboplatin/paclitaxel, radiation twice, Doxil last year) She is now receiving Taxol only through a port - 3 times a month with one week off for the next 4 months. She has had a total of 4 treatments and is so weak she can hardly get…
Stage 1B, beginning radiation and 2 very tiny lung nodules found..,anything to worry about?
Hi. I am posting this for my Mom. She is still learning how to use a discussion board so I'm helping. Mom is 64, uterine cancer was unexpectedly found after vaginal hysterectomy. Because of that, lymph nodes were not sampled. Cancer was invasive adenocarcinoma, and was confined to uterus as far as we know but was 80% into…
Drug Shortage
Hi Ladies. My sister-in-law has had UPSC since 2006. She did two surgeries, aggressive radiation and carboplatinum without a lot of success. The GOOD news is that Doxil is working! Bad news is that we learned of the shortage of Doxil--so that she cannot get her next treatment. I've started writing our pathetic politicians…
Thank you from a lurker
I was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma in June, and I immediately began searching the internet for more information. I found this group, and I've checked in daily and read many postings. Well, fast forward to the end of July. I had a hysterectomy on June 22 (DaVinci), and I've been doing really well. I saw my…
how do you learn to live with this?
I'm sorry I'm having a hard time.Sandy

Vaginal pain
I am having some pain in my vagina, kind of like shooting pain. The pain is not constant. Have you experienced this kind of pain?
D&C results
If anyone could help me.... I am awaiting results and if in fact they confirm I have Uterine Cancer would you have the hysterectomy performed by Gynecologist or should I immediately look into a Gynecologic Oncologist? I am so scared and spending days on end looking up information and it is so overwhelming. Please help as…
Recurrence right after treatment
Hello, My UPSC seems to be immune to Carbo/Taxol. My scan 2 weeks after chemo finished showed an enlarged lymph node under my arm which a biopsy has confirmed to be cancer. I can't believe I have a recurrence already with no break of a even a few months for some normality. I'm 34 and have been given a 2 year survival…
Vaginal Spotting
I've been on a roll since my diagnosis Feb '08, stage 3C MMMT.....no recurrence. Well this morning I noticed some pinkish/brownish spotting (had to really look as it's almost dull in color) on toilet paper after wiping....gee! Heart sunk to my stomach and now know I've got to call the doc this morning as he'll want to see…
A Gentleman and a Robot Project
I gave the scrub cap to my gynecologic oncologist today. He absolutely loved it. The nurse loved it. The medical student loved it. He laughed so hard and gave me a big hug (none of this has ever happened before). He says he's going to wear it in the OR and he just might - he modeled it in the exam room. He appreciated both…
Water
I was wondering what kind of water do you all drink? I have been drinking plastic bottles water, but I am changing to filtered. I am about to order one of those pitcher with filter, PUR or BITRA, and I was wondering if anyone have used it before.
Any Way to Raise Platelets?
Dear All, After 25 radiation treatments and 4th round of taxol/carbo, my blood counts continue to plummet. Was sent home twice already for 5th scheduled chemo, with platelet count at 46. (100 is my center's minimum for proceeding with chem.) Did any of you have more than one postponed chemo for low platelets? And is there…

After 5 1/2 years finally got port out!
I just wanted to share this news. I had my port put in in October of 2005 and been having the darn thing flushed for over 4 years once I was finished with treatment. That meant it was a monthly reminder all those years. I am happy to have it out.
Soy consumption? Controlling hot flushes?
I was wondering what your doctors have told you about eating SOY. My onco told me, after surgery, to stay away from it. I try my best not to consume any, but almost everything has soy as ingredient, including protein power. I am definitely going to ask my onco in my next appointment, but I am just curious. In the last few…
