A year later they started attaching to liver, diaphragm, omentum so I had to go through chemo - the deadly cocktail of Taxol, Cisplatin and the other one that starts with A. Almost killed me - but I feel so healthy now. 3 CT scans later - still no sign of the cancer. But - no one can tell me anything about survival. Survival when it is Stage I is very good, but once it's out of the uterus, they always say "it always comes back..." Ok but when??
Keep the faith! Glad to hear you are well.
