Related: About this forumFinished 6th round of chemo today and rang the bell!
I have stage III-B, high-grade papillary serous endometrial carcinoma. It had spread to local organs, so everything was removed surgically; however, it had already spread to the peritoneum, as well. Fortunately, lymph nodes were negative.
(There's a P53 mutation going on and that's part of what makes it extra aggressive.)
Next up: ongoing Herceptin infusions and 5-6 weeks of daily radiation.
Sending best wishes and good vibes to everyone else here, in solidarity!! ~~~~~~~

I'm so sorry you're going through this, Sparkly, but it sounds like you've got a good oncology team, good attitude, and so happy to read lymph nodes negative! Chin up, healing thoughts going your way, and thanks for sharing.

There is life after endometrial cancer. Mine came back, twice, but the last round was treated successfully with the immunotherapy drug Keytruda. I ended up with mild rheumatoid arthritis, but my CT scans have been clear for four years.
If you've got questions, or just need to talk to someone who's been there, DM me.

I hope you are in an area that isn't too hot or too smokey so you can get some fresh air over the summer.
There is so much lovely fresh produce to eat, too.
Looking forward to keeping you with us.
Good vibes being sent.

(481 posts)Im so PROUD of you! As cancer survivors, we get up every day and do everything thing we can so that we can get up and have another day with our loved ones. And some days, wed really like to take the day off, or maybe just sleep in, but, we dont! Youre Awesome!
I have personally benefited from the wonder drug Herceptin, having been treated for Stage IIIA Her2+++ breast cancer, diagnosed 13 years ago, last month. And so far, so good!
Dennis Slamon, the father of Herceptin, is a hero in our house!

I'm still seeing the radiology oncologist a week from Friday to find out whether/why and how much I'll need radiation.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
