Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

March 29th 60 Minutes broadcast
I did not watch this episode of 60 minutes, but learned about it from a coworker. She told me that Duke University has been doing research on the use of the polio virus to treat a terribly aggressive form of brain cancer. By injecting polio into the tumor, an immune system response is sparked that has led to the tumor…

Avastin and Naturopathy
Hey ladies...an update. After having a recurrence in my pelvic nodes, I was started on Doxil and had to quit after 3 cycles. I had the worst toxic reaction they had ever seen at Kaiser! Mouth sores all down my esophagus, skin burn that peeled off my body, rash all down my legs, and hand/foot that literally took me to my…
HPV high risk problems
I was diagnosed with recurring cervical dysplasia & HPV over 5 years ago (in my early 40's). I had 3 cervical conings (where they freeze the surface cells.) After the 4th positive test result, I decided to take different action. I did a lot of on-line research,day and night, which lead me to try a new HPV treatment known…
Waiting over hysterectomy done pathology back...A OK
Hi, Finally had the hysterectomy that I had been waiting for and I am thrilled that it is over. I am happy to say that they didn't find anything...so I am clear. It throws me off that I had a pap test that showed adenocarcinoma cells that lead to the surgery...that has shown nothing. It leaves me wondering what does that…
My conversation with my gynecologic oncologist
I saw my gyne oncologist and he seemed pleased that I am closing in on 1 and 1/2 years since my hysterectomy with no signs of a recurrence. I finished my chemo treatment 1 year ago.

5 Years cancer free today
Just had my 5 year checkup for USPC and I am officially 5 years cancer free as of today. And my CA 125 which had stabilized after my surgery at 7 has now gone down to 5.1 The doctor said he doesn't often see it go lower after 5 years. So that is also good news. I had him look in one of my ears as dead skin (like you would…
Low grade temperature that goes up and down for week. No other symptoms.
It started last week. The temp was 100.1 then after 1 Tylenol and a cool wash cloth on my head, it went down to 98.7. I had a runny nose that day but no aches and pains anywhere. I called the doctor. I talked with the nurse. She said she would call the doctor and give him the message and he or she will call me back. A 1/2…
The quest for the cures
Has anyone seen this series? I watched it recently and found it very informative about cancer. I think it's a must for anyone fighting with this illness. It makes you think immune system and diet play a much bigger role than conventional medicine in eliminating cancer. Just wondering if you watched it, what your thoughts…
Hormone pills, do they work?
most of the forums I have read, people with endometrial cancer that have mets have gone through chemo and radiotherapy treatments. Has anyone had hormone pills? Did they help? What stage were you when you used it? Did you need any additional treatment?
Discouraged.....
Hi everybody. I saw my Oncologist on Friday and we officially decided to discontinue Doxil. After three cycles, and a dose reduction, the side effects were worse than they had ever seen. She wants me to take several weeks and just heal, which is OK with me. I am UPSC Stage IVb. In 2014 I went thru major debulking surgery,…
HIP PAIN AND POSITIVE SCAN
I have had hip/groin pain for a month. It was so painful with sudden onset of pain that I could hardly stand the pain for the first two weeks, even with staying off it as much as possible, using crutches and taking Vicodin.

UPSC...medical neglect
My sister had a hysterectomy and was diagnosed with stage IV B endometrial/UPSC cancer in the spring of 2011. For treatment purposes they used the same protocol as for ovarian cancer. The doctors involved were not very responsive (she's in Naples, FL, not some third world country) and she lacked confidence in them so she…
My Dad is Upsetting Me!
So, since the last time I posted in here, things have been a little bit crazy for me emotionally. I'm up and down, moving from being scared and forgetting that I have been diagnosed with cancer. The wellwishes have stopped, and I've fallen out of most everyone's thoughts. Now Im just stuck here with this... situation. I…
And so the journey continues; got my scan results
Hi ladies! Well, the news isn't great - I continue to progress now through my Avastin treatments. Two tumors have doubled in size, the one by my heart grew and the other two are stable. The good news is no new mets were seen and no direct organ involvement. My doctors are having me meet this Tuesday with a principal…

My wife was diagnosed with ovarian and uterine cancer Tuesday night. This was very unexpected and has crushed us. She's having surgey to remove both organs next month. We're worried about pulling through the surgery and the chemo treatments that follow. Dr says if all goes well, life expectancyis 1-4 years, that seems like…

Cancer: The emperor of all maladies
Did anyone else here in the U.S. see the three part PBS show "Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies"? It was unbelieveable. How chemo, radiation, immunotherapy, and clinical trials run have come to be?? Fascinating. Like life, not everyone they highlight lives, but it did give hope. Back before radiation could start I was…

Hi Everyone, Actor Kathy Bates has been speaking publicly about the lymphedema she recently acquired in both arms from a double mastectomy after a breast cancer diagnosis.
