    • Close Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer)

      I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (stage 4) in November 2005, 6 weeks after my hysterectomy to remove uterine cancer. No, it was not uterine cancer metastasized. I underwent chemo for 9 months, and surgery removed what remained of the tumor (along with my right kidney) in September 2006. I am having all kinds of difficulty dealing with issues surrounding the cancer and survivorship, fear, etc.

      Treatments

      Interferon Working / Worked
      They had to reduce the amount I gave myself because the side effects were too severe. After that, it was not too much of a problem.
    • Close Military Families

      My youngest son (20) has just recently returned from Iraq. Although he is 3000 miles away, just from what he tells me and what I saw when he came home on leave, he has changed dramatically since enlisting and being deployed.

    • Open Female Sexual Issues

      I'm 45 and had a hysterectomy last year. Now, I have very little interest in sex and a problem with dryness, too.

    • Open Obesity

      I am 45 year old woman. I currently weigh 310. My high weight was 381 (that I knew of). I lost 100 pounds. I had cancer and received chemo. Now it seems like I can't lose weight at all and if I splurge even just a little, I gain weight. I've gained 40 pounds since finishing chemo in October.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I worked out at a gym with a personal trainer before I became ill. That worked great!! Can't afford it at this point.
