Hi all,
I had my first surgery in May 2021. It was a total hysterechtomy with everything out. Biopsy found the tumor to be a grade 3 so I started chemo in July and like alot of people I was allergic to the paclitaxol (don't know how it is spelt) and so I had abraxane and carboplatin instead which I could tolerate. Then my chemo was postponed whilst I had a second surgery in October to remove another tumor which was found near my bowel. Luckily the biopsy revealed that one to be non cancerous. The relief was immense as I'm sure you can all understand. So I resumed chemo for another 4 cycles and finished in January this year. I am currently awaiting brachytherapy BUT when I had a scan after finishing chemo, the report for the scan says that the tumor they removed in October is stable. Hmm.... So now the doctors are baffled because none of us understand how a tumor that was removed can still be stable. There shouldn't be anything there. So I've had another Pet CT scan and am awaiting the results of that and my brachytherapy consultant is understandably also awaiting my scan result before booking me in for treatment.
Has anyone else been through something similar? Because I'm really struggling to stay positive right now.
Hi Did they do a second biopsy on the tumour removed in October which was said to be non-cancerous then? I confess I don't understand. Unless the scan has picked up something unusual of the site of the tumour removal?
