Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

nempark I saw the doctor today
Hi June I am also Stage 1 grade 3 but have USPC. Had my last scan in October 2010 right after I finished chemo. He also said last week when I went for my check up that unless there is a problem he doesn't like to run CT scans to often. SO i go back today with the cramping/bloating/pressure issue and they think it might be…
slightly humorous story
I usually am on the Breast Cancer boards but I thought you ladies would better appreciate this story. The drug Tamoxifen promotes endometrial cancer. I had to have a second hysteroscopic polypectomy in less than 2 years. During the procedure, while I was under a light 'sleeping' anesthetic, the scissor finger of the…
Increase public profile of uterine cancer
Ladies, I watch a certain shopping network program. There is a clothes line called Quacker Factory which has fun clothing. The woman who started the clothing line is named Jeanne Bice. She announced on TV this past Saturday (via Skype from Boco Ratan) that she was just diagnosed with Uterine Cancer! Jeanne is a fabulous…

Getting carbo-tax starting July 6th. Nurse said worst symptoms a few days later. Alread…
Claudia!
How are you, and where are you? I am really missing your posts, and I have so many questions for you. Are you painting, or maybe you're on a road trip. Perfecting my anticancer diet is a priority right now, and I wanted to run a few things by you. Is there a way to reach you other than through this site? Of course, I hope…
18 MONTHS AFTER HYST. CAN WE BE PRONE TO INFECTIONS IN THE BELLY AREA?
I am constantly bloated and feeling cramps in my belly.. Last visit with Doc, he had a look in side and said that "I am good to go" No scans. What do you think? I had a scan in March of 2010 immediately after my last chemo and he said he doesen't want to do more scans unless it is absolutely necessary. Every three months I…
Modern medicine
To all the courageous women on this board. I know that there are some on this board who have chosen to forgo modern medicine for alternative treatments. Some even going so far as to imply that modern treatment is not effective and in some instances harmful. The tone of some of these posts sounds a little sanctimonious to…
foods and supplements I eat/take
everybody is different, but this is what I do after reading several books and doing hours of web research. I am sharing this with my fellow cancer patients. ***************************************************** Food groups for Cancer Patients: they fall in one of the five categories: (1) induces cancer cell death (2) makes…
Finished Chemo Nov 2nd-had thyroid ultrasound test today for nodules and two were solid--multiple no
Friends, I am so disappointed. I had a thyroid ultrasound test today, because in the summer months thyroid nodules were seen as an "indidental" on a ct. My oncologist had said he was not very concerned many people have them and we would take a look at it after chemo. I had an ultrasound today and it showed multiple thyroid…
Society of Gynecologic Oncologists Conference this week: any abstracts on UPSC?
Society of Gynecologic Oncologists are having their annual conference in FL. I got a link to OVCA (ovarian) related research abstracts. I have yet to see a link to the uterine cancers. and specifically UPSC. Since UPSC behaves just like Ovarian cancer, a lot from the OVCA can shed lifht on UPSC. But, I am still looking for…
What is the BEST cancer center out there??
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2002 and had a total hysterectomy. I almost made it to the 5 year mark but found it had spread to my pelvis. When I asked the doctor why he hadn't done any kind of scans to keep a check on it he said "94.6% of the time when the hysterectomy is done, the cancer doesn't return."…

changed my profile photo to show you my latest crop of chemo curls.
Three different times chemo has made me completely bald, and each time my hair has come back completely different. This time it is not as curly but still wavy, and is still very thin. One of my girlfrinds took this photo of me at a Victorian Tea we went to today. I've been trying to let the tops grow out and it's at that…
SALLY: about the brachytherapy
One other new tidbit I came away with from my appointment with the new gyn-onc: Apparently there are more than one kind of vaginal brachytherapies. I had no idea there were different kinds. My gyn-onc said that I had been given the very latest and least damaging of brachy-therapies. I looked on my appointment sheets for…
NED unexpectedly !!!!!
Today, I saw my dr. for post chemo consultation. When he walked in and asked me how I was doing, I said "the rapture did not take place as predicted last Saturday, but I feel like I am facing my judgment day today". He said, well, your CT/PET scan is completely clean! I did not expect this. I went in there bracing myself…
what a great (if inadvertent) sisterhood here
Hello, all-- I've been lurking for a few months, checking out the threads on complementary therapies and appreciating the insight and wisdom shared here. Most of the time, I haven't felt "qualified" to jump into the dialogue, so I guess I've been a sort of free-loader for a while. But in the past couple of days--prompted,…
Chemo number 6 ( really 12)
I had my lab drawn on Tuesday, so I could get my CA 125 results. They only run them on Tuesday. My marker did not drop like I had hoped. It was 56 and now it is 50. The doctor in Florida told me my "new normal" may be higher than 35, so maybe this is my new normal. I know I should be thankful for a drop, but I wanted below…

In my 5th week of chemo and still struggling with the whole idea of having what may be a life-threatening cancer. Doing Chemo 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Doc calls it "aggressive" treatment. Wasn't…

Uterine/Cervical Cancer stage 4
I was originally diagnosed with Stage 1B2 cervical cancer (undifferentiated carcinoma - poorly differentiated). Had radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and then had a hysterectomy. The pathology report indicated that the cancer was contained within the uterous. My CT prior to the surgery indicated no spread. After…
Lymphedema??
I developed ankle swelling (both legs) shortly after my last chemo for breast cancer. This was in October. Oncologist gave me Lasix which really didn't work, so I stopped it. It got better on its own. I went about my business and was at my primary care's office after the first of the year and I complained about the ankle…

Integrative Medicine -Looking for other Cancer Survivors Utilizing Anti-Cancer Diet and other Integr
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last year, had surgery and radiation and was told that the cancer had not spread beyond the unterine area. However, I went to the doctor at the end of December for bronchitis, had a chest x-ray, and they saw spots on my lungs. This led to CT lung scan and lung biopsy. Endometrial…
I have no marker with the CA125 test
I have no CA125 test as a cancer marker. I had a test done last July and it came back 7. My gyn. said it looked like nothing wrong but sent me for a ulta sound inside and outside. That showed that my uterus was a bit thick and he suggested that I have a D&C and a lapro. surgery. When they got in with the lap. they found…

Low hemoglobin
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to keep your hemoglobin from dropping? I'm having a tough time keeping mine at an appropriate level. I need to do this without transfusions so that I can continue on my medicine. Also, I'm trying to transition to the Anti-Cancer diet. I appreciate your help.
