In The Beginning

It has been almost a year since my diagnosis with Stage IIIC-2 Grade 3 endometrial serous carcinoma.  I received the news on a Friday, over the telephone.

"It's very important you don't skip your ultrasound appointment on Tuesday.  We have the results of your PAP smear; they indicate adenocarcinoma."

I was in shock.  Could a PAP exam actually diagnose cancer?  Were they telling me I had cancer?  I asked the question but received no concrete answer.  Instead, they emailed the results of the smear to me.  I did indeed have endometrial cancer.

Don't you just love to receive news like that on a Friday when Monday seems years away?  There was no medical personnel available for questions.  I wouldn't have known what to ask, anyway, I was so numb.  I couldn't even think straight. 

I went to the ultrasound appointment.  There was thickening to my endometrial lining.  The next thing that happened was a biopsy, and after that, everything was a blur.  Oncology consult, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. How odd that, while everything happened so fast, the time also dragged like Marley's chains.

This blog is not medical advice.  It is a guide, more or less, to help the chemo patient and family to include friends.  I hope that it will be of use to someone.

  1. I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.
