Hi I have endometrial lung cancer both lungs & I’m starting on Provera 300mgs , just wondered how others have found side effects & did it keep the cancer stable Thank you
Hi lives in hope. I too have an endometrial lung cancer. Mine is endometrial stromal sarcoma. You can read my story by clicking on my name and going to my profile.
Can I suggest you join the Womb (uterus) cancer forum where I have seen posts from people who are on Provera. You can see some of these posts by typing provera in the search bar at the top of the page x
Chellesimo thank you I will do that . Have you found the drugs you are on manageable? I am nervous about the Provera
Hi sorry Lives in hope I have only just seen your reply. Yes the treatment I am on is manageable. A lot of the symptoms are similar to menopause, hot flushes, joint pain, brain fog. I don't know if they are getting easier, or if I am just getting used to living with them. x
Chellesimo thank you for your reply. I have started now for 2 weeks & the side effects aren’t as bad as I thought so far , tiredness & insomnia & lack of concentration after I I take the tablet but that improves as the day goes on . If it works that will be brilliant. I will be seen again in 3 months x
Hi I know ur post is 2 years ago. Hope u are OK now. How did u get on with the provera . I've had to come off it after 7 months as my hair is falling out. Had radiotherapy just after starting the provera so don't know if it helped as radiotherapy seems to have shrunken lung tumours? Xx
Hi there , I’m doing really well the tumours have shrunk drastically. I had to cut the drug down for side effects but I have a dose that works for me without side effects, my hair has thinned but not too bad so I am very grateful for the drug . Hope you keep doing well .
