Uterine cancer symptoms
As I've posted before, my 78 year old mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer in January. Her only symptom was vaginal bleeding, similar to a period.

I am now again, six years and three months later, seriously considering an esophagectomy. I am fearful, yes. But more than that, I consider such as invasive procedure to be an affront to my body. Does anyone…

HLRCC or type 2 papillary??
Hi, I’m new and looking to see if there is anyone else with HLRCC or type 2 papillary kidney cancer on this forum.

Have you been ghosted?
I feel like I have lost so many people since I told them about my cancer diagnosis. Friends and family both. I wish I could go back in time and not even tell them. It’s so painful to process that they haven’t even texted me a “how are you doing”. Cancer without any support is really horrible. Thanks for reading.
