Hi there; I have a rare uterine sarcoma called ESS (endometrial stromal sarcoma). After a hysterectomy two years ago, I spent six months on progesterone, which pushed up my blood sugar horribly. I increased my insulin, but it was kinda chaotic - lots of lows, lots of highs, healing from surgery, not a fun time in my life. I go back to Stanford on Monday to get the results of my six-monthly CT scan...

Katrinka, I wish I could help, but I haven't been down that road... yet. I will say a prayer for you to make a good decision on this!

I originally posted this on the general discussion group yesterday. Hope someone in this group can help....

I've been struggling with breast cancer since Jan. 2012, including a lumpectomy done on 2/2/12. I have this weekend to decide if I will agree to do chemotherapy OR stick with my original decision for radiation only. I've felt all along that radiation was the right choice for me, but my oncologist called on Thurs. to urge me to reconsider. Since then I've read a lot on this site and others about chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and about the need for much higher doses of insulin while undergoing the chemo. Anyone have experience with this?

Yup, everything makes our BG change, usually not the way we want...

Nel, surgery will also change your BG's as it is stress...

Thanks justgeo1 ! When I was at the Doc's office , 14 days after the " minor " surgery, to have stitches removed , Locum said : looks like they could have come out sooner ..the cold , BG numbers had NO effect on the healing process it seemed :) . Presently only some dry skin with some minor scabbing ...I will LIVE

Nel, colds and flu do tend to do that to our BG numbers, just get over the cold and you should be fine... Take care of yourself!

Thank you very much , justgeo 1; I was in my Doc's office today for an other matter and the Locum had a look at the result without comments ...I say : so far so good ...am a bit concerned as I am having a cold and my BS numbers are wacky :(
