Primary tumor location:
- Primary tumor location: Uterus
- Month/year of cancer diagnosis: 8-15
- Stage determined when cancer first discovered: I
- Stage determined at time of or after initial debulking surgery: II
- Grade/Type of tumor: 3 UPSC
- Quantity of Lymph Nodes Removed: None - he thought nothing looked like it was worth removing; however, after he found out there were UPSC cells, I think he wished he'd have taken some.

Thank you Eldri.
It's a strange situation we find ourselves in, where little is known and treatment options come at such a price. I hope you are feeling better. I like your photo! Your hair is so cute.

My Data
- Primary tumor location: Uterus
- Month/year of cancer diagnosis: 4/16
- Stage determined when cancer first discovered: Grade 3 from endometrial biopsy; initial physical exam by oncologist had me as a Stage I or II cervical cancer, but that got changed during my surgery.
- Stage: Initial pathology during surgery defined me as having endometrial adenocarcinoma rather than cervical with 30% myometrial involvement, but that got increased to 70% when origin was later determined to be at the narrower part of the uterus between the cervix and the fundus. It was ultimately decided that I am Stage 3a.
- Grade/Type of tumor: Grade 3
- Quantity of Lymph Nodes Removed:15 total: 7 from left pelvis(one positive); 6 from right pelvis (one positive); two para-aortic (both negative); pelvic wash suspicious and so repeated 09/27 after done with chemo (still waiting for results). 1st post-chemo PET/CT negative.
- Treatment: 1 cycle Carbo/Taxol; 5 cycles Carbo/Taxotere; EBRT pending 2nd pelvic wash results & my nerve to have it.

Mom
- Primary tumor location: Uterus, 33% myometrial invasion
- Month/year of cancer diagnosis: August 2016
- Stage determined when cancer first discovered: No Stage Determined.
- Stage determined at time of or after initial debulking surgery: Doctor thought it was endometrial cancer at Stage 1A, Grade 1-2 contained.
- Grade/Type of tumor: Turned out to be UPSC Stage 3C1 (one lymph node involved and positive peritoneal washings), Grade 3.
- Quantity of Lymph Nodes Removed: 19 pelvic lymph nodes. Now doctor wants her to go back to remove the para-aortic lymph nodes and omentum to complete staging before going on to chemo treatment, so it will be more.
