My sidetrip to Colorectal Cancer and a Reminder
I'm now 3 weeks post-op from a right hemi-colectomy (resection of terminal ileum, cecum (with appendix) and ascending colon). At age 70, the surgery did knock me out, and fatigue is still an issue. The incisional pain is minor but I have thick scar tissue bisecting my navel (I think he must have ended up with an open…
Endometrial hyperplasia or cancer concerns
I'm 4 and a half years postmenopause. I had some light bleeding 9 months ago, light bleeding 7 months ago, and then a little heavier bleeding for almost a month in December 2023. I have never taken HRT for menopause. At first, I was uneducated about bleeding post menopause was something to be checked immediately. I didn't…
Surviving UPSC
In August of 2025, at 63, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. On September 30, 2015, I had a complete hysterectomy and was diagnosed with Stage III, UPSC. I came to this board a little bit after that looking for answers. I only made it through three chemos of carboplatin and taxotere. In December of 2015, I had a stroke…
Anyone using Fulvestrant or another SERD?
Looks like I may be changing from anastrozole (an aromatase inhibitor) and Ibrance to fulvestrant or imulestrant and staying on Ibrance. I'm in remission after two recurrences, and it looks like I can stay on the lower dose of Ibrance, but all my research points to changing the ai to a serd. I would like to hear the…
NED UPSC for 10 years!
I joined this board in October 2013 shortly after receiving my diagnosis. In December 2013 I had surgery at Moffiitt Cancer Center in Tampa Fl followed by chemo and internal radiation therapy. I am one of the very few lucky survivors to have never had a recurrence and am still NED today. I don’t think I realized until…

Vaginal estrogen and its alternatives
Hello! This is my first post. I am in my 60's and had stage 1a, grade 1 endometriod adenocarcinoma, and am currently 8 weeks post op recovering from total hysterectomy. Nothing found in lymph nodes, so no further treatment. My doc told me that 95% of endometriod cancer has estrogen receptors, but unfortunately I don't know…
Going to SGO in San Diego tomorrow, will I see any of you?

I have been on Ibrance and anastrozole for 6 years. I know that there are possibly some doctors prescribing one of the other two CDK 4/6 inhibitors to…
Chemo-resistant cancer mutation
Hi folks, thanks for all the helpful info and support on this forum. I've been browsing occasionally since diagnosed with Stage IV endometrial cancer last year but this is my first time posting. I've been fortunate to have nothing observable since surgery, although it makes it weird fighting this invisible disease. Anyhow,…
Newbie stage 4 looking for support and guidance
Hi all - My name is Jill and this is my first post. I was just told I have stage 4 uterine CA (serous) with mets to the omentum and peritoneum. The biopsy of a retro abdominal mass came back came back as “poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of muellerian origin”. Doc says surgery is not an option because the mets in my…
Ureter Stent Kidney To Bladder -anyone else?
So my story began last year about this time. I was diagnosed with uterine/endometrial cancer which was in my cervix so at first they weren't sure if it was cervical or what. I had external beam radiation and six rounds of low dose carbo. I switched to Sloan Kettering and it was the best decision I could have made. I had…
2 year update
It's been 2 years since my last radiation treatment for Endometrial Cancer stage IIIa. I highly recommend probiotics with many different strains to help get stools back to normal. I had severe diarrhea on and off for a little over 1 year before I did this. I'm totally back to normal and can eat normal food again without…

Question on post D&C operative report
Hello all, 39, premenopausal. After more than a year with increasingly heavy (but regular) menstrual bleeding and anemia, in late 2023 I found an OBGYN clinic that could see me several months earlier than my regular OBGYN. On my first visit, I had a pelvic exam and PAP smear, which found a slightly enlarged uterus and good…
Unexpected D&C results for CAEH - Likelihood of cancer?
I am 48 and haven't had my period in a couple of years. I had unexpected bleeding in September 2023, finally got an appt in October 2023 with my gynecologist who used ultrasound to diagnose 1cm thickness of my endometrius and a polyp. I had my D&C on Jan 2, 2024 and thought it would be like a previous polyp. Benign and no…
Experience with Keytruda/Lenvima?
I am trying to decide which regimen, among three of four choices, to try. The first best would be another carbo/taxol, but I am unwilling to lose my hair again. The second best choice -- medically best, I mean -- would be Keytruda/Lenvima. It seems like most posts about that combination have been pretty dire in terms of…

In Oct 2011, less than a year after my last chemo for BC I was dx with USPC grade 2, stage 1a. Now here is what I want to share..... My onc said uterine CA has been associated with BC but because many women…
Endometrial biopsy
I am just curious if anyone's endometrial biopsy missed cancer. If so, how did you find out about the cancer?
I was just diagnosed today, I think I've had symptoms for a long time, anyone else?
my diagnosis is Endometrioid adenocarcinoma, FIGO 1. and my doctor says the outlook is good because it's not something that's been going on for years and years but now that I think about it, I have had symptoms for years and years, I have had difficulty in urination and I guess that's a symptom, now I am super worried
New to Board - Anyone recently diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade1?
Greetings, I was diagnosed Dec 28 with endo cancer. Trying to get my arms and mind around this. I am 58 yrs old and had post-menopausal spotting which led to an ultrasound and then a biopsy. Full hysterectomy scheduled for Feb 5, 2024, and staging will be done with tissue sample as well as identification if cancer has…
Port - take it out or not?
My last chemo was 6 weeks ago, I want this port out. My Dr said she recommends leaving it for a while but I could have it out if I want. It bothers me, I’m always bumping it and sometimes it itches. Should I be cautious and live with it? I choose to think I am done with all this and the port is not needed anymore, so I…
UPSC: 11 years NED
Hi all - it’s been awhile since I’ve posted so wanted to pop in! 2 months ago I celebrated my 12-year cancerversary. I was surprised with a UPSC diagnosis 10/20/11 after a robotic hysterectomy (had a fibroid in an awkward spot near my cervix - dr tried a D&C but I had a septum in my uterus [im just full of surprises] hence…
Shifting my attention slightly
Hello ladies, Does anyone know about changes in microsatellite instability from "stable" to "high?" And what about changes from mismatch repair deficiency "absent" to "present?" I thought the designation was always one way or another and was imprinted in all your cells. I think now it is dependent on the tumor tissue. I am…

Endometrial metastic to both lungs
I have just been diagnosed with endometrial metastic to both lungs. It is inoperable and I have just started chemo treatments. I was never given a chest xray since my first cancer in 2012. Can anyone explain this to me? I was the one who asked for a chest xray even though I had no symptoms. The xray showed spots so CT scan…
