calfhugger

HI calfhugger ..thanks for answering, better late than never..sorry that you had such a rough time with treatments now that it's over you should start feeling better..as for me treatments are over but it's the emotional scars that is affecting I suffer from terrible anxiety, what a horrible disease, I found out that I also have upsc..but I did not have radiation..hopefully both of us will go into long remissions I pray..keep in touch

I finished treatment in 2015 November ..I found out I had cancer in May 2015 had everything removed ncluding part of colun....was told aggressive..no I did not have radiation..was told more like ovarian serous..I do not have any serious complications from treatment....had a pet scan as I cannot take the die. For the ct scan...waiting for results which brings up my anxiety...hoping you feel better

Hi calfhuhgger..I just want to ask you a question did you ever ask your oncologist about the % of re currence after you finish with treatment..I thought that my cancer was grade 1 but it it is grade 3 very aggressive she gave me 25% of it not coming back after all the surgery and treatments...thanks

I think I have nearly missed it, and have for your time zone, I guess, but happy birthday!! I hope you were able to enjoy it!

I love your profile picture. What a peaceful scene!

Hi calfhugger..what you wrote does sound similar, but I was diagnose with endemetrial endenocarcinoma that had spread to ovaries pelvic lower intestines had surgery and all cancer removed i am know on taxol/carbo 6 treatments, but was told it is stage 3 grade 1..but I do remember dr saying it acted more like the ovarian type which is very confusing

I hope you are doing well with your chemo treatments. YOu are about 3 yrs behind me. Chemo has not been too bad for me and I have little to no side effects from them. I am continuing with chemo as I have other years, so hang in there. Thoughts are with you.

Hi, Calfhugger. This is a good site for support and information. I notice you are following me. I, too, had robotic/laparoscopic hysterectomy (in Dec. 2009) but was lucky to have quick recovery & no blood clot. I had brachytherapy in early 2010 to minimize chance of recurrence. But it came back about 10 months later, even though the 19 lymph nodes removed were all clear. I've had many chemo combinations over the past 5 yrs. PET/CT scans after chemo rounds were always clear (for 6-8 months anyway before next recurrence). But the last one showed the malignant pelvic lymph node had grown + now have bone mets in lower spine & right hip, so am having 18 radiation treatments. As you've read in some of the other comments, some people show no evidence of disease for years--or ever. Wishing you the same.

Welcome to Whatnext. Great people here. We all go through ups and downs but over all think we maintain a positive outlook. All human so it's expected I guess. If can help you in anyway let me know.

Hi Calfhugger. I noticed that you decided to follow me. Thanks! Be warned, I can be a bit sarcastic. But I'm mostly harmless. : )

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance. Hope all is good in your world!

Hi , my name is Laura and I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at 61 also. Had a radical hysterectomy followed by 29 radiation treatments and 4 brachytherapy. Was cancer free for 21/2 years and then it appeared in a lymph node in my necka nd two small ones in my chest. Completed 6 rounds of chemo in March and in July was diagnosed with a spot on my shoulder blade and one small one under my arm. Just completed 15 radiation treatments and feeling great! I know its hard but you can either live your life and enjoy it or keep thinking about it. I choose to LIVE MY LIFE!!! Your outlook is the mist important> Stay positive and don't let negativity stop you. Cry if you want and laugh every chance you can. You can live a good life with cancer. I AM!!!!
