Crawling back up towards the living after chemo 2
I went into chemo two so much better prepared (or so I thought), and it still drug me down into the hole. I kept ahead of the nerve pain until yesterday, took Narco during Saturday night and it must have helped a little because I slept 2 hours at a time. However, yesterday, I didn't want to take another so I tried to…

Insurance problems!!!
A new year; a new insurance deductible! We changed plans this year and bought a plan with a fairly low out-of-pocket expense since I knew I would be hitting it. I called them today to make sure I didn't need a referral from my primary care physician before I go to my wound care appointment. The customer service rep didn't…

Mullarian adenosarcoma
I have recently been diagnosed with mullarian adenosarcoma. I had a benign uterine polyp removed 5 years ago Now I have a cancerous polyp coming from the cervix.

My hair is growing back while on chemo?
OK, with this head rash infection, I admit I'm watching my head more than before, but when I run my hands over it, it feels like more hair! I also got my magnifying mirror out (chemo has changed my vision too) and I can see in the light lots of white hair, short like it was when I had it shaved, but it's new, not the old…

Anyone have a good doctor they see there? I am asking for my SIL who has uterine/endometrial cancer. Not sure of the details…

Saw the oncologist for the first time
Met with the GYN oncologist this morning. He suspects my endometrial cancer is in the early stages, but makes no promises since he won't know for sure what we are dealing with until after surgery. I will be having a Hysterectomy with lymph node removal using the DaVinci Robot procedure on Friday, June 15th. All other…

Have to wait two weeks to get into Wound Care
I called my GP this morning to ask her to refer me to Wound Care for my port site. Her nurse called back and asked me to call my oncologist first to see if they wanted to refer me. So....I called them and told them truthfully that I had lost confidence in their ability to fix this thing since they tried twice while the…

Good news
Over the weekend I got to thinking about some of our older posters we have not heard from in years. Christmas does this to me! So I reached out to a former poster to see how she is. She left our group due to personal problems and time comfraims. She has MMMT I think or maybe UPSC, but, it was grade 3. She is alive and…
Going to try and glue myself back together
My port site (port is gone) is still an open sore. They told me to come back in 10 days if it wasn't healed but that 10 days is tomorrow and I don't think they'll be there on New Year's day soooooo, I bought some steri-strips and I'm going to try and stick myself back together tonight. It will be four weeks on Tuesday…

Here is hoping 2016 is better
To all the "below the belt" warriors, Looking back over 2015, and keeping in mind the previous years, I think of the friends we have lost.

Good news?
I had my second chemo yesterday, everything went great (same as the first time). I'm hoping to get ahead of the pain I had last time by starting Advil last night and continuing agressively today, hoping to ward off the worst. My chemo nurse said to take Norco the second day, however, I'm hoping I dodn't need it. I was…
Port out and done with chemo
I went in this morning for a 20 minute appointment and it took two hours. I told my gyno/oncologist I was stopping chemo. He said he didn't blame me; I was having a lot more bad side effects than most. He had recommended the chemo to kill off any microscopic cancer cells and with three chemos, it was a good chance that had…
Possible skin/infection or ?
Sorry ladies, I'll try to be as polite with this subject as possible, but I seem to hve developed a patch of red skin that burns to the touch or when wet. It now has become raised, probably swollen (I don't know cause I can't see down there). I also noticed tonight it seems to have spread to the other side. There is no…

Helen, you had posted something about B-17. Can't remember where, but was very interested.
Have you been to this site? http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/aspreventative.html Where else would you recommend finding information? I did find a very long technical article by, believe it or not, someone named, Earnest T. Krebbs, who I thought was the name of someone from Dobbi Gillis, is that the name of the old tv…
Tough weekend and then a small glimmer of hope at the end of a long tunnel
Ended up in the ER Saturday after having a night of sharp pain in my upper left chest. Started out like heartburn so I wasn't to concerned.But it kept getting worse with pain spreading from the front to my back into my shoulder and neck. That scaredme enough to decide to get it checked out. Why do these things always…
Thinking about quitting chemo
After three chemo treatments, I'm thinking about quitting and taking my chances the surgery got the cancer. I'm Stage II UPSC and I know it's an aggressive cancer but I had two CT scans after surgery and they couldn't find any tumors. My doctor told me I had a 50/50 chance after surgery that he had gotten it. With chemo…

Metastasis into lung area
I have a friend that also has uterine carcinoma we both live in the same town and it was just by chance my husband mentioned to her husband (they belong to the same club) what I had found out about my cancer and what treatment I was going to have to go through. So I called her and we talked about the two different drug…
Anybody heard of this?
