I'm so sorry you got this frightening call. But be aware that many cancers, especially early stage, can be successfully treated. I think of an oncologist as a "Doctor Death", the >last stop on the way out. I am so frightened. Doesn't cancer spread if >the tumor is disturbed? Can it be cured ? The answers to many of your questions can only be answered by knowing exactly the type of cancer. The oncologist is the best person to answer this. The gyn oncologists I've met or worked with have all been skilled, straightforward, and caring. *Again,* there are many effective treatments for cancer. One of the best experiences I had as a resident was doing the outpatient gyn oncology clinic--here were women who were living full, normal lives without evidence of recurrent disease many, many years out from initial diagnosis. So what I wish for you now is a quick, comprehensive discussion with a compassionate oncologist. Best wishes to you. -- Laurie Lovely, MD RE fellow, UNC-Chapel Hill Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Ovulation with no periods?" Previous message: Laurie: "Re: Endo...just curious?"
