your mom with stage 4 upsc

hi kristin,

that is such great news re: your mother. i'm in my late 60s, diagnosed with stage 4 upsc may'09. had a radical hysterectomy then 6 infusions of chemo, 3 weeks apart. it's been 4 months since treatment, and so far so good though i' m having another ca125 tomorrow. i'm wondering if you would be willing to say what treatments your mother has gone through, and what hurdles there were for her. i'd greatly appreciate hearing your mom's experience, in as much detail as you and she care to share. and what she's doing now, if anything in particular to stay healthy.

thanking you in advance,
maggie

I am an almost 8 yr survivor of stage 3C UPSC and had my surgery and all treatment chemo & radiation at MSKCC both in NYC at Memorial and on LI at Commack and Rockville Center.

wondering why is your mom not staying with this institution for her treatment???

Hello I'm curious to know
Hello I'm curious to know your treatments? My mom has recurrent endometrial cancer that spread to the spine. We really need help. We did radiation and chemo but at the end nothing seem to work. They said surgery is not an option for her. I need a doctor who specializes in this type of cancer. My email is jniccoli21@yahoo.com

Hi Rachel,
My mom was also
Hi Rachel,

My mom was also stage 4 upsc.. diagnosed in March of 2008. She was 61. She was treated at Dana Farber in Boston. She went thru her treatments and some hurdles for sure but she is actually fine now.. she just had a ct scan March 4th and it was clear. Stay hopeful!

Looking for advice
Hi Kristen,
My name is Susan and I'm posting for my cousin JJ, who owns the "Always Hopeful" ID. She is my cousin and also has stage four UPSC. She had no success, unfortunately even a great spread of the disease after her first 18 weeks of Carbo/Taxol chemo. She just found this out Friday so she is in an understandably overwhelmed state so I'm trying to get some info for her.
I am so thrilled and delighted for you that your mom met with such success at Dana Farber and I too would love to know what their protocol was for your mom. My email is hookster1@comcast.net
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Strength and blessings to you and yours,
Susan
