LOL! Sorry Blondeedee! Been doing this cancer thing so long I forgot that not everyone has picked up the talk! NED is a great guy to have a forever affair with! We all would like to share "him" with the world! Sorry again...couldn't help myself! NED is NO Evidence of Disease...N.E.D.!!!!

Hi, Blondee. I'm NED ( no evidence of disease) from serous uterine cancer. Stage 2 Grade 3. I could not do internal radiation, vagina shrunk. No outside, Dr. said do me more harm than good. I had no nausea from chemo but the neuropathy hangover my biggest complaint. I've had radiation before and it can do a number on your bowels so follow their suggestions. Sounds as if you have wonderful plans for next Spring. When you are on this site for a while you will see you are one of the " lucky ones." While this cancer does have a bad recurrence rep you were caught early. I finished treatment January 2014. Had first hair trim this weekend.

I'm sorry you're having to go through so much treatment for stage 1, but killing it good is probably best. I was diagnosed at stage IIIC, so I had the same treatment you are receiving. It was tough and the radiation was difficult for me because of the diarrhia. It is good that your doc told you to take the Immodium proactively. That might have helped me. My rad onc wasn't real worried about my side effects. I was so dehydrated when I finished radiation that my gyn onc had to treat me for uti, I.V., blood transfusion. This could have been prevented. My rad onc checked me for dehydration, but still did nothing to help me. I was so glad when I was through with him. Now, my follow ups are with a nurse practioner, who talks to me and tries to alleviate my residual symptoms. Best of luck to you, and hopefully you will make your travel plans.
