    Hi, I just wanted to say-Hi! and happy Mothers Day.

    My son took me to get the goodies for my Mother's Day meal. I put to cartons of ice cream in the cart. We got home, and only one carton was in the bags. I guess somebody saw it in the cart-we parked it and found a few things we forgot. Anyway-somebody must have said---Rocky Road Icecream PURR-FECT- I'll take this to my mother.

    So we checked out-I looked for the ice cream, and the clerk didn't charge us for the ice cream we brought home--so FABulous--free ice cream for some reason.

    Anyway, I hope that you have a good mother's day..

    watergirl- if you just had your surgery may I suggest that you visit hystersisters.com for info on recovery from your surgery. I found it really helpful and supportive for all things hysterectomy related. Less so for cancer specific stuff but, hey, one thing at a time and that'swhat this is for anyway. Feel better soon. -Jane

    Hi watergirl and welcome. I'm a couple of years older than you are (not sure exactly how that's possible since my mind still thinks I'm 27-ish) and looking at stage IV fallopian tube cancer in the rear view mirror. Where I hope it stays!

    I'm so sorry you're here but it's a great place for folks like us to get support, making alliances, ask questions and share resources. If anything about my story would be helpful to you, I'm happy to share.

    All the best,
    Diann

    Dr. Bernard Agbemadzo, Medical Oncologist in Albuquerque, NM | US ...

    Dr. Bernard Agbemadzo is a Medical Oncologist in Albuquerque, NM. Find Dr. Agbemadzo's phone number, address, insurance information, hospital affiliations ...

    Try Dr. B. He's London trained and practices oncology in Albuquerque. He's an African-- very intelligent and kind. He has the European training that you're talking about. The radiologist cured me, but Dr. B signed up to care for me, when the odds were against us. It can't hurt to contact his office- and get a 2nd opinion from him. Good Luck

    Hi, I know what you mean about 'clinical trials'. I also had a rare cancer with a 100% mortality rate in 5 years. I seem to be OK.

    If you have a rare incurable on your face, they try to run you out. You ruin their rating that controls how much they get paid. Then facial disfigurement caused by an incurable is bad advertising. They don't want the other patients to find out that you're dying.

    I was lucky. I found a cowboy that had a plan, and he did the impossible. I'm going on 4 years of cancer free.

    Hi watergirl, I have read your experiences and am sorry you are experienceing these problems with mobility and eating. Why? Do not see where you had chemo. I was disgnosed in 2013 with another gynogological cancer, ovarian. Mine was at IIIC. After chemo, surgery, and more chemo, I am currently in remission. I have been part of the WhatNext community for several years. Through all the ups and downs of treatment, I have had great support, and helpful suggestions. Reach out with any questions, continue to share your experiences, even vent. Visit the pin-board and see some of the WhatNexters . All of us are here to help each other. Take care, talk anytime.
