Symptoms

Here is a list of some of they symptoms you may experience:

Low back pain
Urinary urgency
Hip pain
Heavy periods
Post-menopausal bleeding - make an appointment with your gynecologist ASAP if this occurs! Do 
                                             not procrastinate!
Abdominal bloating
Abdominal Pain
Leg pain

In my case, along with some of the above symptoms,  I had a rash on my legs that would not go away in spite of dermatological intervention, had lesions for over a year.  After surgery, they healed within a week.  My nurse explained that this could have been from either the antibiotics they gave me prior to surgery, or possibly could have been my body's reaction to the cancer, and the mast cells were producing at a fast rate to combat the intruder.

If you have the symptoms above, please make an appointment as soon as possible with your gynecologist.  Insist upon tests.  Some women can have their diagnosis delayed for years (see Fran Drescher, Cancer Schmancer).  This is your health, your life!  Be your own best advocate.
