    I'm 5 years and 2 months in

    I'm 5 years and 2 months in remission with stage 4B Uterine cancer.  My surgeon and family have been amazing and key to my recovery and survival. I had a full hysterectomy and 30 lymph nodes removed. After surgery my treatment went as follows... 3 months of chemo, 6 weeks of external radiation, 3 treatments of internal radiation (my surgeon said if the cancer returns it would show up in the vaginal area) and 12 months of once weekly chemo. I'm 56 yrs old, you are young and have a long life ahead of you one day at a time! Stay positive!

    Stage 3C1 in Dallas, TX
    I was dx with stage 3C1 Carcinosarcoma Tumor stage 1A) invaded approximately 0.3 cm of background endometrium into a 3.0 cm thick myometrium. It was also found in 1 Regional pulvic lumph node which made it go to stage 3c the 1 is how many lymph nodes was involved. They removed the Omentum, tubes, ovaries, cervix, uterus and 10 pelvic lymph nodes. This was in April last year. Surgery was in April, started Chemo in May through August. It has been a year since surgery and I am still here. Sorry to here about your sister but there are other ladies on this site that are still around also. Tell her that it is the quality of life that is worth fighting for. No one has a date stamp to say this is it. God is always there to help carry the load when it gets to much. Lots of people are usually around to help carry the load too. Do not read the Internet because most of the stuff is old and out dated and very scary. I will keep her & her family in my prayers. trisha

    cancer

    InnocentI was diagnosed with stage 3 endomedrium cancer this past March. Had a complete hysterectomy, the muscle outside the uterus removed (which the cancer was found attached to )and 35 lymph nodes removed. 2 weks later developed a severe absess that put me back into surgery. Now am receiving treatments. Have found through my journey that the hardest part is the unknown. I have been told I will not be cancer free for 5 years. Have days when my legs burn from the nerves trying to function without the lymph nodes. I take it day by day and my faith is very strong. My favorite saying of which I may have a tatoo done is God lead me to it and then he lead me through it.

    I recently was diagnosed with cancer. Went through surgeries andnow treatments. I have stage 3 uterine cancer that got out of the uterus. we decided as a group, to just do radiation as it is not known if the cancer spread. Time will tell. I live each day as a gift.
