Advice:
Alternative to hysterectomy, early stage I

View More Posts Ignore
I am 37 years old and have not yet had children. I have recently been diagnosed with Stage I Endometrial Cancer and don't want a hysterectomy. My doctor is trying an alternative treatment where I am to lose weight and get on Megace (man-made progesterone), which is not an easy feat given that Megace is an appetite suppresant. She said that after 6 months, if all is gone, I should try to get pregnant right away. We have been trying for 7 years to get pregnant, but she said that I have probably been anovulatory the entire time. So... I am keeping the faith! I think I can beat this by weight loss, natural healing and this Megace.

I'm looking for other people with similar experiences who have successfully cured their cancer and soon after, became pregnant.
