Endometriosis, Serve pain, and more problems
I had my 1st surgery when I was 25 years old and it was the Laparoscopic procedure that determines that I had a full-blown case of Endometriosis. Then after my diagnosis I had to have a complete surgery because my case was to bad for the doctors to remove it through the Laparoscopic opening. The doctors

Pain Relief from Excision Surgery / Bowel Resection?
Good Morning Everyone, I hope you are all as well as you can be. I wonder if anyone on here that has had excision surgery with bowel resection for their endo could let me know if it was worth it. I am currently trying to decide if I should go ahead with this surgery (I have stage 4 endo and surgery

Hello
My name is Loretta. I am 62 years old. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer in May 2014. I had a hysterectomy in June 2014 and had to have a Stoma as the cancer had spread to my bowel. This was followed with weekly chemo with carboplatin and taxol. I was unwell during chemo but once completed

Challenging but great to be alive
It was just over 5 years ago when I went to the bathroom and saw blood in the toilet bowl. I panicked and went to the ER, then to urologist. To shorten the story I had stage 3 muscle invasive bladder cancer with lymph involvement. My journey was a difficult one. Bladder was removed, donated to the Lindecker

Should my dad (79 years) supplement 3 monthly injections and with what?
My father has been diagnosed with PA (level was around 200). GP put him on 3 monthly injections. He had been ok but after flu and a chest infection (treated with antibiotics), his last injection has made no difference and his symptoms have all returned - extreme fatigue, dizziness, breathlessness,

Post surgery update
Hi all, So 2 months ago I had my operation, this was my 4th laparoscopy. I had questioned beforehand if it was that bad, I had been on zoladex for a few years so thought it couldn't have gotten out of hand. Well it turns out it was really serious, the surgeons did a segmental bowel resection and removed

Hubby had bladder cancer, how it was to care for him
My husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer in Oct. 2008. He had his tumor removed but had to have his bladder removed in Dec. 2008. Three months later another tumor was discovered in his groin. He endoured three months of radiation therapy and weekly chemo. Learning to deal with a collection bag

Ready for Surgery, Need Advice
I was disagnosed with stage 2, muscle invasive bladder cancer, N-0, M-0 in April. Two MRIs showed no cancer outside the bladder. After 6 sessions of chemotherapy, my oncologist has determined it is time to remove the bladder (along with prostate and lymph nodes). Since I'm age 70, he's concerned about

Hi--I've never posted before, but have been encouraged by many of your posts. In Jan., I had a kidney removed because of a tumor that turned out to be a urothelial carcinoma (more typically a bladder cancer). The doctors felt chemo would be too hard on my remaining kidney. At my quarterly check-up
