11 years cancer free

Went to the oncologist today and he said I don't ever have to come back and that I am a success story. My journey started in 2010 when I started bleeding after a pap test. It took 2 years before I got the correct diagnosis. Had a complete hysterectomy and them chemo with carbo/taxil for my combination Endrometrial Cancer and Uterine Serous Papillary Carcinoma (USPC).  Followed by Brachytherapy Radiation which did a real number on my vagina making it very narrow and not exactly straight anymore. Thought I would never have sex again. But come to find out there is a fine line between pain and pleasure and I have found that place. So at age 70 I am still enjoying sex with my husband. All in all it has been a rewarding and exhausting journey from the lows of "Oh my God I have cancer and I am going to die" To the highs of " Your Ca-125 is looking good and your another year cancer free". It has made me appreciate many things in my life more just knowing that it can all be gone in an instant. There was another woman my age who went through everything the same year I started that opted not to do the Brachytherapy Radiation part and last year came down with cancer of the vaginal cuff which they having to rebuild which means more surgery and more chemo and possibly radiation. I would advise all you ladies to do the Brachytherapy Radiation. Its in your best interest as it really does pay off in the end. I know mine is not the normal outcome with USPC and that many of you are still fighting the battle. I hope you can take some hope that it is not always a death sentence. Keep up the good fight. I admire you all.
