Hello,
I am an oncology/end of life nurse that specializes in gyne cancers. Welcome to the "What Next" family. If you should have any questions or concerns that you feel I might be able to help you with, please do not hesitate to ask. There are many excellent people here always willing to help in any way with the latest information or experiences to share. You are among friends….there are no strangers here. I hope you find all the information and support you seek, Carm RN.

Hi Timbuktu. Welcome to What Next. There are lots of great people here. If you have questions, please use the question tab above -- that way the entire network will have ready access & you'll get a quicker response. I see you are new to your diagnosis and things may be whirling. I was diagnosed w/Stage IV endometrial cancer in July 2012. Made it through hysterectomy & chemo -- my last chemo was a year ago this coming Tuesday (1/21); didn't need radiation. I'm currently NED (no evidence of disease). If someone as big a wuss as I am can do this, I'm certain you can, too. I'm really glad you found us but sorry for the circumstances that led you here. WIshing you all the best.

I wish you well in your search for medical care. I was referred to a doctor who is a part of a cancer center. The focus is cancer. The support from the center has been great. I've only been to hospitals for surgery, but I can tell the difference between the hospital and the knowledge of the staff at the center.

Yes, it is a scary time, all of us remember it well. All of us have come a "long way baby" and you will too. Remember, there are many choices out there and keep that in your mind... It gives you comfort and despair at the same time. Follow your gut and put your questions out here to help reassure you with additional information. I was diagnosed Stage IV b Nov 2012, completed chemo April 2013 No evidence of disease (NED) now. We are survivors on a continuum!!

Hi, That diagnosis is so frightening, changes everything in your life. Wish you the best
