Angela123's Journey with Endometrial (Uterine) Cancer

Diagnosed with uterine cancer while on vacation in Las Vegas( I live on Long Island, New York.). After flying back on Christmas Day 2011, I am able to secure an appointment to see a gynecological surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering for dec 31. Hysterectomy scheduled fo 1/14/12. After lung biopsy for suspicious lung nodules is performed on 1/12/12, it is determined that uterine cancer has already spread to my lungs. Since hysterectomy is already schedule, I go through with it on 14th. It is discussed that I would have chemo after recovery from surgery

Chemo side effects hard to cope with,especially neuropathy.

Fatigue was often present, paired with difficulty walking due to neuropathy.

Pain and discomfort and the psychological effects of mobility limitations.

Ct exams are showing results thru oct 2012. Maybe ends do justify means!???!

Ct exam in December shows resurgence and growth of cancer nodules on my lungs. Doctor says chemo is no longer working and needs to find new chemo/trial for me.

Schedule meeting in Jan 2013 to discuss trial participation at memorial Sloan Kettering, only to find out that heart issue disqualifies me. Very frustrating and scary since cancer is growing during all this time!

Had laparoscopic hysterectomy in jan 2012 at memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC.
