Thanks GHT. I use meditation to get through the treatment and find that works. However after 5 weeks everything starts to pall.

I decided to go with the radiation treatment, mainly because my radiation oncologist was more optimistic about this treatment than was my medical oncologist about hormone treatment. ( I should explain that I have a team of three oncologists whom I regularly see.)
So the treatment will begin in the next three weeks, and I've been warned it will make me nauseous for the whole time and some time after the treatment ceases.
Thank you for your comments.

As someone who has cancer, it can be a very isolating time for patients and their carers. People who have experienced this themselves are usually the best support. Health and support services are available also to provide support. Don't waste your time with fair weather friends, they require too much effort. My own brother hasn't spoken to me for two years, so I've assigned him to the back of my mind in the too hard basket. This has been my experience and I hope it helps.

In February I had a PET scan which showed four small but enlarged lymph nodes in the para-aortic and mediastinum. They are too small to biopsy, so surgery has been ruled out. I have been offered two alternatives; hormone treatment or radiation treatment. I have until next Monday (9 March) to make up my mind. Has anyone had this experience? I'd like to hear from anyone in a similar position.

The PET scan showed up a lymph node with 4mm suspicious cells. Now on a wait and see regime until end of January.

In June 2013 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 of this uterine cancer, and since then underwent a range of treatments. Now I'm being monitored on a three monthly basis. In May my CA 125 test showed markers at 7. Since then the tests have shown increases to 38 and lately 53. Today I have had a PET scan to see what is causing the increases. Has anyone else had a similar experience and would like to discuss it with me?

It's six months since I was assessed as being cancer free. Now my CA 125 tests are elevated over the last three tests. I'd like to talk to someone who has had a similar experience, but hey I'm happy to talk to others as well.
