Enlarged Ovary with complex cyst after endometrial cancer stage 1a grade 2
Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage1 grade 2 in November 2024. It was found after a hysterectomy because of very enlarged fibroids. I opted out of radiation because of the size and grade. I get exams and scans to keep an eye on things. I was not due for a scan but have been having pain. I opted out…
port removal
I am having my chemo port removed on Monday after two years. Anyone had this done? What can I expect? The nurse told me that it basically is "the reverse of when they put it in," which isn't very helpful.

Well it’s been a long time since posting. I was diagnosed 10 years ago in June 2015 with Stage IIIC1, High Grade 3, 50/50 Mix EAC and USC. I was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer. For several years every 6 months I’ve gotten Mammograms, Ultrasound and MRI’s. And 2 large tumors emerged since December. Diagnosed with…
Endometriod Adenocarcinoma Recurrance to the liver
Hi everyone. It’s been a good long while since posting here. I was diagnosed with endometriod adinocarcinoma Stage 1 Grade 1A eight years ago in 2017. That May, I had a complete, Davinci robot assisted, hysterectomy. I remained NED for 6 years. It wasn’t until we went 1 year in between checkups that it was discovered that…
Chemo Teaching
Had my chemo teaching today…and of course one of the most important things is to eat… Any suggestions that worked well for y’all? I’m extremely overwhelmed!! How about mouth sores? Anyone prescribed Letrozole? This was something that my doctor may want to add to my plan.
Diagnosed with serous endometrial carcinoma early June 2025
Hi all, I was diagnosed with serous endometrial carcinoma in the first week of June, 2025. There was a normal amount of time between biopsy, pathology, referral to a Gyn oncologist and meeting the highly recommended and qualified surgeon. But there was a glitch in the before hysterectomy imaging, so I’m now scheduled for a…
Looking for comments about Jemperli/dostarlimab
I am a 73-year-old female, diagnosed with an aggressive form of endometrial cancer (EC), type IIIC1 dMMR. I had a complete hysterectomy last fall with no obvious signs of spread to nearby organs but did have one lymph node show microsized cancer cells. I've since received 7 infusions of Jemperli (6 infusions with paxitaxil…
Newly Diagnosis Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
I am 61 y/o and a mother of 3 wonderful grown children. I had been having some postmenopausal bleeding, and my ultrasound showed an endometrial stripe of 19 mm. My primary doctor referred me to a GYN doctor who completed an endometrial biopsy. Yesterday, I received a call from the GYN doctor stating the biopsy was positive…
Annual checkups
I am right at 6 years post surgery and almost 6 years from the end of chemo, and brachytherapy with no recurrence. I still go for annual checkups with my oncology GYN. How many of you continue to do this? I really love my Dr but she is retiring at the end of December. I will still go to the same oncology center and the PA…
My Welcome

Newly diagnosed with clear cell uterine cancer
Hi, My sister was just diagnosed with clear cell uterine cancer. She just got the biopsy results yesterday. She will be meeting with two oncologists this week. Can anyone help with a list of questions to ask the oncologist? She is totally overwhelmed and needs some help right now. (I am her brother, I also have a very…
Is it possible to be told you don’t have cancer without a biopsy?
The gynecologist oncologist that I saw today told me that I do not have cancer. My regular gyno could not get a good sample with an EMB so he had referred me to this GO, thinking he could do a frozen section D&C. But instead, he told me flat out that I do not have cancer and that bleeding is most of the time not cancer.…
Stage IVB endometrial adenocarcinoma.
I was diagnosed with Stage 4B metastatic endocervical adenocarcinoma in January of this year, surgery/hysterectomy not an option. I have done 2 rounds (6) infusions of chemo. 25 external radiation treatments, and 3 HDR brachytherapy treatments. I'm 43 with 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren. I have hit the stage of post…
Skin care/household products after cancer treatment
Has anyone switched up their skin care and household products? I'm trying to get better about using cleaner products to help reduce the chemicals, if possible. I have very sensitive skin so it takes awhile to switch. My daughter got on me about some of the things I was using, and she was right. Anyway, I switched body…
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 was wondering what other symptoms some of the other "maturer" women had. My mom had not been to a gyn in about 11-12 years and I feel a little guilty about not insisting she…

I was diagnosed with USPC in August 2024. Had total hysterectomy (stage 1b, no metastasis or lymph node involvement). I have had 3 rounds of taxol/carboplatin and should be starting external radiation after first of year. Other than neuropathy and some short term muscle pains, I handled the first three rounds of chemo ok.…
Ureter Stents - My experience
Hello Everyone! Just thought I put a post out there because recently I have noticed that more and more of you are required or in need of a ureter stent so I thought I would share my experience with you. My experience with this started in February of 2014 when my CT Scan showed that I had moderate left-side hydronephrosis.…
Lung Mets
Has anyone been diagnosed with lung metastases ? I am stage 3C serous. They only do scans once a year here for some reason. I had some bleeding that they shrugged off and then my next visit they tried to but I basically insisted on a scan. The scan in December showed no issues in abdominial region, but found a new 6mm…
Post vaginal brachytherapy side effects
Diagnosed with stage 1a after total hysterectomy and will meet with radiologist next week. I was told it is up to me if I want to do further treatment as my pathology was very clean. I would be interested in any potential side effects that you may have experienced with this therapy. The limiting factor is my age (68);…
Newly diagnosed Stage III 1A
My daughter-in-law (M) was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma after finding it in her ovary and fallopian tube while undergoing infertility treatments. My son, her husband, is a testicular cancer survivor (he also had stage 3 cancer). We are beginning this awful journey once again and these boards and advice from…
Endometrial SEROUS carcinoma
I was diagnosed with endometrial serous carcinoma 10/21. I had a total hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and brachytherapy ending 6/22. I had a CT and PET scan 7/23 which showed cancer recurring in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. I have my last radiation treatment today (total of 28) and am wondering if there's anyone else on…
11.4 mm endometrium and worried
Hi everyone. I'm glad there are platforms like these to sound off on. I hope it's ok to post here although undiagnosed. I've been reading around and found some helpful posts. Ultimately, we just have to get checked the best we can and not take diagnosis online. I understand that. Purpose of this post, is to hear your…

MRI guided surgery and Endo Ablation
I have my first appt with a gynecologist oncologist today and have been researching alternatives to hysterectomy for fibroids. I am post menopausal so if the doctor is adamant about that route, I’m fine with it. However, I’m wondering if anyone has ever had MRI guided surgery that is apparently non-invasive and destroys…

Cramps and Waiting for Biopsy
I am scheduled for a biopsy and SIS in about a week due to post menopausal bleeding. The doc prescribed Medoxyprogesterone to stop the bleeding.

UPSC survivor 15 years NED
I had USPC in 2010 and remain cancer free after 15 years. I had 6 rounds of chemo and brachytherapy. Other than screwing up my vagina with the brachytherapy ( it is not a straight tunnel any more) I am doing well. Having sex at 74 is still great even if it involes lube and vibrator stimulation. There was another lady that…
Looking for others who may be survivors of leiomyoscarcoma of the uterus.
Hi... I was diagnosed with leiomyoscarcoma of the uterus in Sept of 2010. I had a complete hysterectomy, then 28 treatments of radiation to the pelvis. I know it's aggressive and that the statistics for survival is not good. Looking for others in the same situations.
First chemotherapy treatment today
UPSC - Any survivors greater than 5years?
Hello Fellow UPSC sisters.. I would like to start a discussion on looking at recurrance rates and survival from the USPC group. This may sound depressing, but I think it would be positive to put light on this "Rare Agressive Cancer". I had surgery (TAH + BSO and pelvic node clearance Aug 2010). Surgical staging IIIC. (Node…
