Hello
Is your diagnosis Serous Papillary Carcinoma? I was diagnosed with that in May 2017. I started out with very light staining- a very weird salmon color which I had dismissed a few weeks earlier. It then became heavier and I made appt with my gyno. He swabbed me and the cotton tip came out bloody- red flag and then immediately did an ultrasound on me and noticed a lot of fluid collecting. He then ordered a d and c in which I had to wait a month which included a biopsy. Long story short came back as Serous Papillary Carcinoma Stage 1a. My gyno made an appt with the oncologist a few days later and he set up a plan of 6 chemo treatments- taxol and carboplatin and then bracytherapy around the vaginal cuff. Since I live in South Florida I decided to get a second opinion at Moffett Cancer Center in Tampa with the head of the department. Was not easy to get in but I was persistent and I got the appointment. Their cancer board decided that the cancer started to spread a bit into the cervix and therefore diagnosed it stage 2. And they decided the sandwich therapy recommended by my Dr. where I live should be replaced with straight chemo and then the brachytherapy. So I cancelled my June Scandinavian trip with my friend and embarked on my first chemo treatment beginning of August 2017. The first day and day after were ok -even did Zumba but the next 3-4 days were horrible- could not get out of bed. I had no one living with me- no spouse or relatives- just a very kind man that helped with my parrots and the house. Day 5 I was up and out of the house ravenous and doing my exercise. Of course I lost all my hair in the beginning of the treatment but I had gorgeous wigs- people asked me where I got my hair colored!! I went on dates and I really looked ravishing. Ah the power of the mind!!! I am not a pity party. I had some issues with chemo -nothing horrible. So now fast forward 8 years later my oncologist says he does not have to see me anymore just have regular check ups with my gyno. One other thing, I had a genetic saliva test done and I tested positive for low grade Chek 2. Hope all goes well with you.
