in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

Hi All,

I am new to this forum.  I was diagnosed in February 2014 with endometrial cancer.  I was only 36 and wanted to preserve my fertility, so I opted for progesterone therapy.  My therapy is going well and my last biopsy was good.  But I wanted to know if anyone else on the forum is undergoing progesterone therapy instead of the very drastic hysterectomy option.

I also wanted to know if anyone on the forum has tried to get pregnant after progesterone therapy and if they were successful.

Thanks and I'm glad to join the community.

Dev

    Welcome

    Hi Dev

    just wanted to respond to your post.   However I did not have the progesterone therapy.  I did take lupron though for seven months.   I still had a hysterectomy.

      Glad your treatment is going well

    Good morning

    I'm not familiar with this treatment.  Can you tell us more about it?  I'll google but I find the best education comes from those who have been there, done that.

    Dev, I am sorry you have had

    Dev, I am sorry you have had to find us, but welcome.  I can't say I have seen anyone talk about this in the 2+ years I have been on the board but there may be a lady here who is familiar.

    Take care

    Dev - Welcome

    Welcome to the peach sisters club.  I'm sorry that you have to join but glad you found us.  I don't know anything about progestrone therapy you are talking about.  There is a facebook group called Uterine Support Forum and also My fight against Uterine Cancer that are good sources as well as this board.  I belong to both of those and there are some young women who have been diagnosed and they are still wanting to have children.  That might be a possible resource for you.

    Please stay with us and feel free to share your experiences as we will share our's with you.

    Jeanette
