Ladies, and especially for those who have been fortunate to be around a few years, I have some sad news to share. We have lost our dear Abbycat2, Cathy. Below is her picture from her profile here on CSN. I had been in touch with her over all the years, having had the chance to meet her when she came through Indiana in…
How to determine NED
Hello dear ladies, My mom is currently undergoing chemo: Carbo/Taxol and is in a Keytruda trial. She has finished 3 treatments so far and had a CT scan last week which showed some shrinkage of the tumors. I am trying to be optimistic and praying hard.

Have I pissed of the universe?????
I must have done something wrong. I'm being punished..... :( So you all know I had a rough time after Christmas. And it just went from bad to worse. At the end, I was bedridden all day and I couldn't keep anything down. So at one point, I thought. This is not good. Went to the ER and they committed me to the hospital On…
Nigella Sativa
I ran several searches and only saw the black seed oil (nigella sativa) mentioned in here in passing. Because I feel fairly new at this, I hesitate to say too much. I still have so much to learn and I don't know what's been discussed. I'm wondering if any of you have tried the nigella sativa (black seed oil) or know anyone…
Promising news for serous cancer survivors
Dana Farber Cancer Center has some good results in a Phase 2 trial for recurrent serous endometrial cancer. I thought I would pass it along. This is their press release. The research is in a clinical journal cited in the article for those who wish more detail.…
Hurting and waiting..
I had the biopsies last friday.. They didn't hurt, minor bit of cramping, but it lasted most of the day. Every day the spotting got a little worse, as did the pain. Today I switched from pantiliners to pads and the pain is steady.. Normal? Still no results, she told me they would be here Monday or Tuesday but plan on…
Endometrium Biopsy
Hi Ladies I just found this forum last night. I appreciate all of your thoughtful answers. Here is my situation- maybe you can give me your opinions. I am 41 years old. I am not menopausal. Actually, my periods are very regular overall. However, in December, my period became super heavy with giant clots ( size of your…
5 year anniversary
Well it’s hard to believe today marks 5 years since my final chemo infusion and end of treatment. My external radiation was done in the beginning along with chemo, vs sandwiched in or at end of chemo. I was diagnosed at age 54 with Stage IIIC1, Grade 3, Mixed 50% Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma (EAC) and 50% Uterine Serous…

Hope it's ok to ask a few questions here. I have not been diagnosed with cancer. I am 63, 10 years post menopause, had some bleeding, saw Dr--transvaginal ultrasound showed thickened something-- had biopsy today waiting results should be here Monday or Tuesday. From her experience looking at ultrasound pictures she said…
Pelvic Lymphedema
Has anyone acquired lymphedema in their pelvic area (below the belly button)? if so, how long after surgery and what are you doing for it?
Winter is long this year
Hi ladies, My laptop gave out, and it was so hard reading this site from my phone that I drifted away for a while. But I have a rare night to myself, and I've been thinking of you all so often. I noticed that this place is pretty quiet lately, and I just wanted to come in and turn the porchlight on and dust everything off…
Hi girls ;)
It’s been a while since my last post. To be honest, I’ve been miserable.... Actually like I’ve never been before, in this crap journey. So about 2 months ago, I noticed that my left leg was thicker than the other. About 3 inches. At that point, that was all. Only the swelling. But oh my gosh, that changed. I’m in total…
New Here and Very Frustrated with Kaiser Permanente
So to make long story short going on my second D&C in 3 year. Last one was negative for cancer had pendunculated fibroid or polyp removed in February 2019. Two years forward history of spotting and recent clotting and bleeding again and I am 55 and post menopausal. Had ultrasound last time and the stripe was enlarged or at…
AFib
Anyone develop AFib during chemo? If so, how long did it take to go away? I had it through 6 cycles and was scheduled for a cardio conversation last Monday and when I went in to get that done, I for the first time in months was in normal sinus rhythm. So they sent me home and for almost a week, I go in/out of AFib. Next…

Alternate Chemo treatment Serous cell
Hi Guys, My wife has just had an MRI and it looks like the Paclitaxel/Carboplatin treatment is not being effective at fighting a reacurrence. My wife was originally diagnosed with Stage 1 high grade and had a full hystorectomy in June of last year. They staged the cancer as Stage 1A, but as 15% of cells were Serous they…
Awaiting biopsy results
Hello everyone, hope it is ok for me to post on here. Not diagnosed, but waiting on results of biopsy. Still wrapping my head around it. I'm 46, but already postmenopausal (early). For about 4 years my period was 11 months apart, finally was at 2.5 years so officially considered post menopause. For the last couple months I…
How quickly things change
I have done very well since deciding no more treatment and joined hospice to have someon to contact. Up until January 15. Was prefectly fine and then cancer hit with a vengence. Thankfully they put me in a hospice care unit for 7 days. Felt awful and frankly was ready to call the game, but alas they got me stable and sent…
Question about treatment and keeping ovaries
Hi, this is my first time posting and I am glad to have found these boards. One year ago I had my uterus and fallopian tubes removed and found out that I had endometrial cancer, adenocarcinoma, FIGO stage 1. I had 2 D & C's prior to the surgery that came back inconclusive. I kept my ovaries because I did not know that I…

Neuropathy
For those who have finished chemo, did your neuropathy in your feet go away or has it been permanent? While you were going through chemo is there anything that gave you relief? I tried ice therapy and it gave me some relief early on, it does not help with the neuropathy at night in my feet which affects my sleep.
Shortness of breath
I have just finished 4 of 6 planned chemo cycles and it seems each cycle I've had increased shortness of breath just walking short distances (like to the bathroom) I did have a bit of a rough go in that my very first chemo, I went into anaphylactic shock from the paciltaxel. I was allergic to the additive Cremophor in the…
New Year's Resolution Suggestion - Update Your Profile
As mentioned by No Time for Cancer and Forherself recently, it's very helpful when a member includes some information about her diagnosis and treatment in her profile. Sometimes others forget that information when responding to a post, which may make our suggestions or experience less useful than intended. So please…
2021 Is this the year they'll find a cure?
I know a lot of us here have a high-grade cancer. For most uterine cancer victims, a hysterectomy does the trick especially if it's in its early stages. They come here for help when they're diagnosed and we help them through the surgery but then they're gone. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy for them. But for most…
MMMT Chemo / Radiation Regimen
For MMMT, has anyone had a regimen of Carbo/Taxel (C/T), then radiation, then Ifosfamide/Taxel (I/T) as first line treatment? I think I remember reading member CMB had this regimen. There have been a number of studies on C/T vs I/T and while C/T has not been found to be superior, it is now the standard of treatment. I…

I am sorry I don't remember who suggested that acupuncture might help with neuropathy. Awhile back I posted about my problems with neuropathy becomming worse and the things recommended by the neurologist were not working. Well, I completed 8 sessions over 4 weeks. I would have continued but ran out of $$. Its been 12 weeks…
