Great News!

Hi all! Gosh it's been such a long time since I've posted. I have just received great news from my gyno/oncologist and wanted to share with everyone -- my biopsy came back with no signs of cancer and I couldn't be happier!

I was diagnosed with early endometrial cancer in Dec 05 and my gut feeling was not to move forward with a radical hysterectomy even though 4 doctors told me it was the right course of treatment. Instead I requested Progestin Therapy (Prometrium). My doctors weren't convinced it would work and said I wasn't a good candidate. I just finished 3 months treatment and my uterine lining went from 1.4cm to 0.5cm ... that more than a 50% reduction! No one knows if I will remain cancer-free, so for now I'll concetrate on the positive. What a glorious day!

Thanks to everyone on this board. Although I don't post a lot, I appreciate the support this forum provides. You are truly a fantastic group of ladies.

Good news. Stubborness is a good thing!
Glad you stuck to your guns and got the docs to see things your way

Continued good health!

I am sooo happy to hear your News!!! I know the weight that gets lifted when they tell you that news. I too opted for the progesterone treatment and had success with it. I pray that this did the trick and those nasty cells stay the heck away!!!

Wishing you good health always
