Giant itchy water blister
Okay, in the scheme of things this is way minor, but I have the friggin' largest water blister on my abdomen I have ever seen. It's not infected or anything and it's not at an incision site. It's just big and itchy. Anybody else experienced this after laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Good luck, TeddyandBears_Mom
Here's hoping you sail through surgery tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. Chris
Good news - bad news - seesaw
Hello ladies! I have been absent for awhile because I just needed a mental break from thinking, reading, living cancer. 2014 was hard ...diagnosis, major surgery, radiation, chemo. Then a very short reprieve before discovering a recurrence in Dec. 2014, so started chemo again this January. Started out with Doxil and was…
How come? Did my cancer develope and grow for just 19 months?
What do you think ladies? In the fall of 2013 I had Pap test, physical, ultrasound. My Gyn Doctor then did not find anything suspicious. My fibroids were shrunk a bit and no one paid attention on my symptoms, which I recently found out were the same as for uterine cancer. In April this year I was diagnosed with Endometrial…
Looking for advice on Ureter Stent
Hi ladies, I had a ureter stent inserted on 7/7 to clear a 100% blockage in my left kidney.

Post laparoscopic hysterectomy (morcellation) of endometrial adenocarcioma
Hi. I am trying to find anyone who has had a laparoscopic hysterectomy (morcellation) and found out AFTER the surgery that they had endometrial adenocarcinoma. I am finding many scary stories. Does this procedure always spread the cancer?
Managing diabetes while taking decadron
Hello all, My mom is just at the beginning of her fight against UPSC. They placed her port this past Friday which made the reality of cancer sink in even more. I'm writing to all of you who are diabetic. Mom is to take decadron before and after each chemo treatment (carboplatin and taxol). How did you control your blood…
Had repeat bronchoscopy
it did not show any healing from the damage From the radiation. I don't go back for two to three months. That makes me think it will take that long for healing to occur. Not very hopeful for a quick recovery. I think the bronchoscopy aggravated my cough. Itis more frequent. The. Nausea is constant, too. I was doing much…

diagnosed at 25
Not sure where to start. I guess in the beginning..I found out on april 8th 2015 that I have uterine cancer. Im only 25 and still trying to process everything. The doctors are not sure what grade it is due to the fact that my labs came back at both grade 1 and grade 3. It has been ruff seeing as to how I have never had…
And so it begins
Got the results from my CT scan today and so far, so good. Nothing showed up. Big sigh and a few tears of relief. I meet with my surgeon on Wednesday and surgery is scheduled for July 10. I'm taking things one day at a time, and I know after surgery I'll know more, but today I feel positive and am trying to prepare my body…

There is still 5 weeks before the next scan. Her white blood cells showed improvement though this week. But watching her suffer this is very painful. i…

thought you could all use some good news.
Today is March 25, 2014!!!! I’m alive and wonderfully well, living in California, six years after my diagnosis with UPSC. Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions. Question everything. Look things up on the web. Google is the best friend I had in my fight. There is a change in the wind on how doctors are looking at…

Is it just me??
I have had all the tests, seems like every test known to medical science, and the surgery. So far the physical part hasn't been too bad. I admit that I was pretty messed up for a while... couldn't eat or sleep, was hard to get moving again, and I kind of let things go for a time. But the part that is really giving me…

Thinking of stopping at 3 instead of 4 chemo treatments.
I am on day 7 of my 3rd treatment and my M.S. and M.G. is taking a big hit. Bladder, bowels, M.S. Hug that feels like I am being strangled at my diaphragm. Spasms so strong that I can't tolerate to stand, sit or lay down without extreme pain. And to think I may be in a flare that is permeant really is to much for me to…
Third day after first chemo
such a great pain in the bones between the knees and the ankles. Tylenol does not help at all. The rest of the side effects are minor. Do you know anything that could relieve me and how long it'll last that pain?
