Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

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…

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…

acupuncture for neuropathy
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…
MMMT Uterine Cancer
Miralgia Parasthesia after surgery
Wondering if anyone has experienced this problem after surgery and how long it took to resolve. This is numbness at the surface of the outer quad muscle extending from the hip to the knee. My surgeon seemed to expect they had traumatized the left femoral subcutaneous nerve because they checked for the numbness on initial…

Lymphedema in right leg
It has been awhile since I've updated after going off Keytruda/Lenvima. The lymphedema started last July in my right ankle. It gradually became worse, spreading from my toes to my groin area only on the right side. I only had 4 lymph nodes removed during my hysterectomy and they were on the left side. So we are thinking…

Has anyone heard from CheeseQueen57 (Susan)?
I see she hasn't been on the board since December 2nd and at that time was not doing very well. I texted her but she hasn't answered. I'm hoping she's just recuperating and regaining her strength after going off treatment, but I'm worried. Love, Eldri

Four full days ago, he and a young friend went to check out a potential HVAC problem in a rental building's basement - and the friend developed symptoms that night. Friend called tonight to tell us he tested positive. They had traveled separately, were both always…
Has anyone had Serous Uterine cancer + Positive Peritoneal wash and decline Radiation?
Hi Ladies I was just at my Post op check up appt today and they said they want to go with the 25 full torso radiation treatments and the 3 rounds of Chemo because my UPSC was in the Uterine lining as well as a tumor inside 4.5 cm. It had not gone into the muscle or middle layer of the Uterus. It was not in my lymph nodes…
Dear Sisters,
In an earlier thread, Diane the Fighter, asked for some imput as to whether or not she should have radiation as part of her treatment. It's a struggle that evokes a sense of deja vu in many of us as well as empathy for her needing to make a decision regarding something that she is not an expert in. As is often the case in…
Queen of Cheese (Susan), how did the Keytruda go?
