    UPDATE On My Surgery October 30th

    Well I had my surgery.  Did the DaVinci and lasted about an hour.  Pathology report came back and the Dr. says no futher treatment necessary.  Early stage and Grade 1 cancer.  Follow up visits only!  I'm so relieved!  Thank you so much for all your support on this board. Much love and best wishes to you all!

     

    Thanks,

    Kim

    Hey, My name is Kay and just found out I have endometriod adenocarcinoma.  Mine is Stage 3A.  I am like you, never thought I would be on this side of cancer.  I have been a caretaker with my mother-in-law, 92 years old.  I  had a hysterectomey on Oct 27th, 2014 and three lymph nodes removed.  Two lymph node had cancer cells and the other had a growth.  I am getthing ready to take chemo and radation.  I am trying not to think but be positive.

    Welcome, KayBB

    KayBB, welcome to our board, but I wish that you didn't feel a need to find us here. I also have stage 3A, uterine papillary serous carcinoma, not MMMT. With time, I found that the shock of the diagnosis started to wear off and I could begin to function without constantly thinking about my cancer. I was diagnosed 13 months ago and am currently NED (No evidence of disease). Although I didn't have radiation treatment, I can tell you that the chemo drugs-usually carboplatin and Taxol are administered-weren't difficult to handle. I missed one day of work due to fatigue and that was as a result of my last and 6th chemo. It is doable, Kay, and I hope that you find it to be so!

    I suggest that you get copies of your operative report and pathology report just in case you decide to get a second opinion. I found it helpful to write out my questions before seeing my gynecologic oncologist, that way I wouldn't forget to ask any important questions. I brought family members to the appointments with me initially, both for support and for a different set of ears. 

    Please keep us posted on how you are doing, Kay.

    Warm Wishes,

    Cathy

    Mixed emotions

    I always feel so sad to welcome a new person, Kay, but glad that she ( sometimes he) has found her way here.  This board is quite literally a lifesaver with all kinds of treatment information as well as being an emotional support.  As did Cathy, I found chemo to be very doable, nothing like I anticipated.  There are issues but we will help you take them in stride.

    KayBB, I am sorry you have

    KayBB, I am sorry you have found us but you have a safe place to ask any question, vent, cry, etc...said by one of the the dearest women we have all know, "you are a statistic of one".  Do not read the statistics out there, the information is old and there are many here who have proved them wrong.  

    Cancer is a journey, but it is doable.  You may not think you will ever see the end, but one step at a time, you will get there and the people on this board are always willing to help.

    Take a breathe and if anyone starts to say anything negative, tell them to STOP, I AM ONLY THINKING POSITIVE THINGS!
