Hi Christina,
So sorry it took me so long. Have you made a decision? I was told that if I go through with radiation there would be a 99% rate of cancer not coming back. My doctor did not give me a choice. He just said this is what we will do. Getting radiation was easier than I thought, but the long term effects are still unknown. Radiation affects you in ways that you won't realize for maybe 10 years down the road, but I am 50, and decided to not worry about what ifs in 10 years, and just worry about today. I personally am glad I went through it, but I can't say how it would be for you. I hope I'm not too late with my answer!
Please let me know where you are at with it now.
Love and Friendship,
Theresa

Hi Christina!
I've checked periodically on here and havent seen you! How are things with your daughter? Yes I do worry but that's totally normal. Uterine cancer is one of the most treatable when caught early which yours definitely was! I know of at least two people who are 15-20 year survivors! So don't worry, the fact that they didnt even suggest radiation treatment lets you know that you will be fine!! Hope you are enjoying the summer!-

How are you and your daughter doing Christina? I've been busy with summer, but haven't forgotten about you!
I’m With You
Wow Chris I was so surprised to read your message. While on my daughters acct looking thru stories. My daughter is nicole she was 15 1/2 when diagnosed she's now 17. Its heart wrenching to watch your child suffer in pain+all you want to do is somehow take the pain away. I can't say the prednisone was real helpful for nicole but everyone responds to meds differently. I'd love 2 hear from you+share stories or support and perhaps our daughters can do the same. I know how isolating this disease can be. And they feel so alone @ times like noone else realizes how they feel or what they live with daily. I'm also a nurse+work hard to research this disease hoping to help find relief for her during the "flare"times they tend to have. Please feel free to respond 2 this acct.if you'd like + I can send you my email address or create my own page on this site. My thoughts+ prayers are with you + your daughter. Mary

Close Uterine Cancer
I have had irregular bleeding between periods for a few years that my ob/gyn doctor thought would be helped by birth control. after dealing with this for a while she decided to do a uterine biopsy of which tested positive for cancer. I was told by another doctor from the practice on May 14th 2009. My doctor was out that day. I cant remember a time I have been so scared before now. I don't have good support, I have a wonderful family but they are all acting so distraught it is really scary.
