Re: Uterine met survivors?

Hi Deha, I am very sorry to hear your story, it’s not fair. The medical system is hard to deal with as well. I am three years out from a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed. It attacks this area and grows rapidly bc of blood flow. You can’t change the past and I would be angry at the medical syst...

Re: Help with advice for stage 4 newly diagnosed

I see Dr. Christopher Lieu at UC health in Denver. He is very kind and an “out of the box” thinker. They have treated me aggressively and gotten me to stable. I have been a patient at Dana Farber and MSK. MSK is wonderful too but I think Dr.Lieu would be a great local place to get started right away...

Re: Doctor recommendations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering?

I was wondering if she was pregnant! Last time I saw her none of the nurses knew whether she was or not and no one wanted to ask. I adore her. She is not my local oncologist but I have relied on her to guide my treatment with her positive but honest approach. I also need recommendations as to who to...

Re: stage 4 with extensive lymph nodes involvement

Try to stay strong and know that everyone’s story is their own. You could perhaps look into Care Oncology to pair with chemo? Trying to stay present always helps me think through things and research when I need to make treatment choices. I agree with RP1954 that you should get all your blood markers...

Re: to HAI or not ... anyone regret it ???

I work with MSK and had a liver resection there. My advice is go there, try it, you just never know. My doctors there are very kind and if they are willing to do the surgery and the Hai pump that is saying something because they say no to a lot of people too. Wishing you success if you move forward ...
