Fun Cancer Facts

Ha! I got you there! There are no fun facts when it comes to cancer. But let's give it a try.

Endometrial stromal sarcomas

Undifferentiated sarcomas used to be considered a type of endometrial stromal sarcoma, but since they are more aggressive and are treated differently from low-grade tumors, they are now considered separately. These cancers make up less than 1% of all uterine cancers and tend to have a poor outlook.

Chemo

 My task vision was affected after my first chemo infusion. I had to use my reading glasses to use the computer.

Numbness

The skin over my tumors feels numb, like getting novocaine before dental work. Feels weird to scratch my skin.

Weight (loss)

You lose weight when you have cancer!
