Hi,read all your experiences and wow, you have had quite the journey. I was diagnosed IIIC back in 2013 and have been in remission for a year. They were able to remove all visible signs of Cancer during my Debulking surgery including a growth on my colon and one on my diaphram. Had the tingling and numbness in fingers and toes but that has since vanished. Still have some fatigue. Chemo brain visits me often. My weight went down to 114 from 134, but as with you I gained back my weight and an extra few pounds with it. Did not have the nausea thru chemo because of all the premeds they gave me. Hope you are doing much better these days. I wear a dog tag my husband gave me with the date of my last chemo inscribed on it, but I know what you mean about the real celebration. Hopefully that will happen several years from now for both of us. Take care, talk anytime.0March 2015

I have uterine cancer, so the treatments are probably similar. I had hysterectomy, using DaVinci, chemo, and radiation. For me, the radiation was the hardest part, but none of it was pleasant. I with you the best of luck. What they don't tell you is that chemo is cumulative, meaning that each dose builds on the previous doses, so by the end you feel worse than you did with the cancer. Take care.0September 2013
