Hit the six year mark as of 22 Aug 2017

Thank you so much for such a wonderfully hopeful post, Trish. Carcinosarcoma is always referred to as such an aggressive form of cancer so it's wonderful to hear the true-life stories of any of us who have gotten that diagnosis, had treatment and made it back to living a "normal" life. Wishing you continued NED and happiness! Kim

Congradulations, that is quite an accomplishment, I hope you celebrate 

Hugs and prayers, Lou Ann

You were posting a lot when I joined 5+ years ago and reading what you had to say helped me a lot. Thanks.

Thanks everyone.  Main reason

Thanks everyone.  Main reason I stopped posting was that I really did not have much to say in form of waht to do next.  I did not change my eating habits, did not start an exercise program, still worked, still worried about family, still took care of my family,  I did not go with health foods, did nto stop sugar, did not stop meat, did not stop taking my supplements,  I have high blood presure and cholestrol, overweight but still have made this far with no recurrance.  I do not have anything except to say I took everything with a grain of salt, I try to keep a postiive attitude, and do not sweat the small stuff anymore.  If I have the ability to change the outcome then I will try to do so but if it is out of my hands then do not worry about it.  I cannot give advise about radiation because I did nto have any.  I took the carbo./taxol and had no problems. Why me over others, luck?  I do not know but I morn those that have passed. I pray for those with cancer new and old, and pray for those with recurrances.  My family tells others that I beat this thing but I tell those same people no, I just am NED and clear at this time.  I do not dwell on the other shoe dropping but it is always in the back of my mind. 

I know none of us have an expiration date stamped on us so I will continue to fight on and I talk with a lot of women here in Dallas and tell them if they think they have a problem go to the doctor, if they do not like the answer get a 2nd, 3rd or 4th opinion.  Tell a dr finds out what is going on.  I refer them to UTSW hospital and the Cancer Center there if they need it. trish

Trish, my friend!  So good to hear from you.  So happy you came to share your news.

Hi Trish:

 Thanks for posting - it was good to hear from you. So happy and glad to hear that you made it to the 6 year mark - what a feat and an accomplishment - congratulations on making it to 6 years with No reoccurrence.  I go back and see my oncologist in November as my blood levels have been normal since May from my reoccurrence from last October so I have NOT needed chemo.  I am so Very grateful and thankful thus far. I feel very lucky and fortunate and blessed that I have been able to beat this beast back since December and all of this year as my immune system kicked it out. I don't know what the future holds as my oncologist wants me to get a Pet Scan done in October - so I will see where I go from there. I am hoping for the best outcome for sure.  I did have a port put in last November and I do get it flushed every so many weeks. So for now I am waiting and enjoying my life.  I do post on the board when I have news after I see my oncologist. So for now it is every 3 months that I go and see him.  Anyway, all the best for the future!  

Cheerful
