Clear Cell Uterine - Stage 4

I too was diagnoised with stage 4 uterune cancer in Sept. 01. I am 65 this year. I live in Raleigh NC and had my treatment at Duke Cancer care and since I also have home in FL I see doctors and have had treatment in Ft. Meyers.  Initally, .l had total historectmy , 31 rounds of radiation and the strongest chemo drugs they thought I could tolerate. (doxirobsin, cisplatin, taxol) I have had two reoccurances in the past 5 years  in lymph nodes in the para aortic and in clavical, both times I went back into radiation treatment because they are not sure I can take anymore chemo. It left my stomach a mess. The first time my cancer came back my doctor gave me 6 months to live.  It would have been so easy to give up at that time, but I did not.  I went to another doctor and he said I can get rid of this tumor with radiation and he did,  It does not even show up anymore on scans.  Bottom line I'm living with cancer and keeping close watch on various spots that have turned up on cat scans and pet scans.  I feel like I have a good quality of life and credit my Duke doctors with me being able to survive as long as I have..Be viligant and what ever you do don't give up. You have a strong faith and that will help you, however I am a firm believer that God helps those who help themselves so take charge of your own health and learn as much as you can about your cancer.  Even after 6 years I research on computer all the time for new treatments. I try to live the best life I can everyday. I have a very supportive family which helps. I have no idea how I got this cancer. I am youngest of 4 girls and am first one in the family to have cancer. My mom lived until 92 and died of old age.I  did not take hromone drugs(HRT)  I will pray for you and send you positive vibes that you will be ok. Keep in touch. Norma P
