My wife had both, all were removed with surgery at the Carol G. Simon
Cancer Center at Morristown Medical Center - I believe it is one of the best in our area and NYC and Philadelphia are no more than 25 miles further from our home. That surgery was done with a fully open, nor endoscope (not sure that is the correct term, surgery through small incisions), to give the surgeon access to surrounding tissue. He said he believed he had gotten all infected flesh - but she went through Chemo anyway. As stated, I think, she finished that in March of 2011 - about the same period as your second cycle.
As followup she had gotten a CT scan (which I have read some scary stuff about - it is a dangerous damaging procedure in its own right) perhaps every 6 months. Two months back they detected nodules on her lungs and in the cavity where the uterus and ovaries were located. So she had the follow up 2 months late and it showed increased growth in size and number - so the Oncologist said she has to go back on Chemo and has referred the lung question to a lung specialist (don't recall the name of that field).
I'll admit I just today picked up an advertisement on the web concerning cancer treatment and it has nothing good to say about Chemo, or indeed about the progress made in cancer treatment over the past 80 years, it said no progress. Did make one feel good.
First of all, I am sorry that you all are going through this. I am sorry, what is your wife's "form" of cancer, is it uterine or ovarian? This forum is ovarian, but I can tell you from experience, any form of cancer, *****, sorry, but it is, I had Ovarian in 2006, had chemo from 2006-2007. It's exhausting. Still managed to work full time, and maintain my normal family duties to the best of my ability. And yes it did (the cancer) sneak back up on me in 2010, had more surgery and another 12 cycles of chemo from 2010 thru 2011. It's a kick in the teeth, but you have to fight, fight fight. I am not sure what it's like from your perspective. I did go to my treatments by myself. Told my husband to go to work. My infusion center was 5 minutes from my house, so I did drive myself. Didn't want people missing work and just sitting there staring at me. But be brave, and my prayers will be with you and your wife. Best Wishes.
