Pathology report post DiVinci - Requesting guidance

Time to celebrate! And certainly not a time to be apologetic. We will all celebrate with you.

I can't comment on the dietary changes. Because I opted not to make much of a change. Other than I am more aware of eating balanced - fruit, veggies, etc.; I still do eat my sweets and white flour in moderation.

I'm taking the approach that I will exercise and eat enough of the good stuff to stay healthy. I would not be happy on a hugely restrictive diet. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me down the road.... But, my doctors seem to think it is a good approach to take.

I hope you can put all of this behind you, relax, enjoy life and know that you dodged the bullet.

So happy for you!

Love and Hugs,

Cindi

OMG, that is so wonderful!!!!  I love hearing good news and god knows we need some good news some days!!!

I'm not anybody to give you any advice on diet and exercise - LOL!  I know, though, some of the ladies here have made huge changes in their diet which have worked out great.

You can't get rid of me.  My dx was also a good one - Stage 1A, grade 1.  I honestly never thought my cancer would come back, but I kept all of my follow up apponitments just in case (well, I did get just a little laxidaisical toward the end).  I was never advised to do anything about eating or exercise, but I know that I was overweight at the time of my diagnosis and that being overweight is a risk factor for both breast and endometrial cancers and I had both.  It made me pay attention and change my ways consistently.  I exercise almost every day even if it's walking, which "they" say is the best form of exercise anyway.  I eat clean and I eat healthy.  I've lost weight (some, still need to lose 10 more).  I'm going to be 69 (horrors) in June and I want to remain active and age well.  If any of this prevents a recurrence of either of my cancers or prevents me from growing a new one, well, that's just great.   I know for sure I will be in as good a shape as possible should I need to face any illness again and I'd like to prevent what I can as long as I can, like diabetes and heart disease.   I've already outlived both of my parents and have a strong family history of both diabetes and heart issues (no cancer, tho).    I simply feel better and can do a lot of things I had accepted as just part of ageing.  For example, I could not get up off the floor without crawling over to something to leverage myself.  No more.  Up and down.    Everything they say about diet and exercise is true and I feel better than I did 5 1/2 years ago.  And I will continue to hang out here, too.  There is often someone with a diagnosis like mine and it's just good to chime in now and then and say - I'm fine.  And I am!

It wouldn't be the same without your beautiful face; so I for one, am glad you have no exit plans!

Congratulations on getting the best kind of news when it comes to having endometrial cancer.  My gyne-oncologist is with the City of Hope which is a large comprehensive cancer center in the Southern California area.  This last week, I received news from the City of Hope about their research on the types of food to eat to prevent cancer.  The title of the online article is "The magic of mushrooms and 14 other foods that may cut cancer risk". Their research shows that eating 2 cups of fresh mushrooms a day can decrease the risk of breast cancer by 2/3.  It seems that mushrooms keeps estrogen levels from getting too high.  Although, my cancer is endometrial and not breast, when I was first diagnosed, my oncologist felt that it was connected to my estrogen levels.  As a result, since reading the article and not wanting a recurrence, I have started to eat more mushrooms with my meals.  I figure it wouldn't hurt.  If you want to read the article, here is the link:
