Welcome Steph!!!
I am new to the board as well, I joined only a couple of days ago, and I have to say I have already met an amazing bunch of women on here and I am truly enjoying talking to people who know exactly what I have been through and the feelings that I have. I was dx in August of 2005 and underwent a hysterectomy, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus, omentum, and 9 lymph nodes removed as well, I feel very fortunate that my gyn/onc surgeon was able to remove all of the cancer and that it hadn't spread...I was staged at Stage 2...after recovering from surgery I underwent 6 preventative chemo treatments (taxol/carboplatin) and I finished in January of 2006, and so far have been cancer free....What stage were you at dx?
I pray too that there is a cure as well, and from what I understand they are working on a vaccine...so that sounds promising!!!
I hope that you have a Wonderful Day and I hope to be chatting with you soon!!!!
Take Care,

I'm looking forward to meeting people who know where I'm coming from. I was Stage 1 when dx. My chemo was also the taxol/carboplatin. I didn't have to have any of my lymph nodes removed, only had the hysterectomy with everything removed.
A vaccine certainly does sound promising. It would be a huge step in the right direction for a cure.
I hope you have a Wonderful Evening. I would love to chat. Hopefully soon!!!!

Saundra,saundra said:Thanks, ladies. Those of us still undergoing treatment (in my case, I am in NED, but doing a 12 month consolidation dose to hopefully add months to my remission) need your optimism and example.

My prayers are with you. I'd like to think that all of us, those still battling the disease with treatments as well as those of us who have already finished that part of the battle, are family. And being family means we support each other, we encourage each other, and we help uplift each other when it's needed. To me, family is everything....and I would be honored to call anyone and everyone here family because what we have all been through or are now going through is not easy. You can never have to much support, encouragement, or family......anyway not in my opinion.
Keep fighting the good fight.
