This site is great and has very helpful information.

When my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer we were in the mind set that this was to be a war and we were going to win it. We met our Generals (doctors) and were briefed on what to expect. After learning that there was no front line to expect and she had no more than six months we decided to embrace those months and embark on a journey which included travel, new experiences, and preparing me to continue life with two kids on my own after 30 years. When she passed away it was more difficult than I could ever imagine but those wonderful six months were the ones I will never forget!

I am a 68 year old woman who recently underwent a total hysterectomy on March 24th. The symptom was very marginal bleeding. I experienced no pain, no bloating and no other symptoms. My gynecologist and the oncologist- gynecologist suspected atrophied organs. Three months ago a D&C was attempted but the cervix was so shut that the instrument would not penetrate. After the hysterectomy the pathology report came back that the muscle wall of the uterus had a .2 invasion of cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma to be exact. All other reproductive organs were biopsied and came back normal. I am told that this is microscopic. Tomorrow I am going to the oncologist to see what he has to say about treatment if any. I am concerned about lymph nodes. I am healing nicely, don't take any pain medications and I am back to driving. No staging was done as cancer was not suspected at the time of surgery.
