possible mets to the brain
In the case of mets to the brain, conventional therapy would be something I would strongly consider in that situation. Even if I wasn't fond of chemo or radiation therapy. some times you really have to go for the gold. Claudia

The Importance of Menitoning that you've had a recurrence on this network.
A December update: Everyone, I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, no one does. However, I do feel it's very important to mention a recurrence. What I'm thinking is this. If everyone just hangs around til things go wrong, and then just quietly slips out of the picture, then we all have false hope that we'll be fine if…

Putting us on a map. And giving the stage you were diagnosed with as some are doing now.
Could each of you write the area or the town, and state you live in so we can get a feel for how spread out or close we are to one another? Would be a real shame if some of us live in the same town and don't know it. Some of you have added your stage. GREAT IDEA! The year and month you were first diagnosed, if this is a…

Jill, was wondering why you've been pulling your prior posts.
Hey, was just noticing your posts are disappearing. Looks rather odd, what with people responding to something you've said and there being no post to respond to. Is something wrong. I had always thought what you had to say offered a lot to the discussions. What's up? Claudia

Aren't I too young for this?
Everything I have found on papillary serous carsinoma is in women over the age of 50. I'm not even 43 yet and I've just been diagnosed. Haven't even had the hysterectomy yet - scheduled for December 29, 2009. Is there anyone else here as young as me? Or, am I the baby of the group?

Okay, I’ve got it, how to attack the problem of commutative thought,common thought, however you choose to think of it for yourself. Our cancer is for the most part a p53 gene driven cancer.

(((((((Mary Ann))))))) A special hug as I feel my recurrance has taken you to a dark place.
I hear such discouragement in some of your posts since I recurred. I'm so sorry to have taken you to a darker place, even if it is just temporary and fleeting. I want to tell you that I allowed myself to believe that I had beaten this thing (for the most part anyway) and am so glad that I allowed myself that special joy…
