I have recently been diagnosed with stage III, A, uterine carcinosarcoma, and all the visible cancer was removed.  I will be starting radiation therapy next week for 5 weeks, not sure about chemo yet, but probably. I know this is one that has a big tendency to reoccur. Are there any 5 year survivors out there? Please help, thanks.

Re: uterine carcinosarcoma
			
Hi.  I'm so sorry about your diagnosis.  You have a challenge ahead, but keep the faith.  Unfortunately I don't know anything about carcino sarcomas of the uterus, my experience being an adenocarcinoma.  However, being also a colon cancer survivor, I have read some posts on that board regarding radiation therapy in the pelvic area.  There can be some uncomfortable issues when radiation is done in the pelvic area.  I would recommend that you speak with a couple of people on the colorectal site regarding what to expect from the radiation and/or chemo you will be doing.  KierstenRx is an excellent resource, as are a few others.  I am praying for you.

Kirsten

I am sorry to hear about your cancer.  I am a 3 year surivor of IIB uterine cancer with radiation treatments.  I had a radical hsyterectomy followed by external and internal radiation for 5 weeks.  I was told that if you don't take hormone replacement that it is less likely to reaccur, but that is only a few doctors opions.  Do you mind me asking how old you are?  I was 37 when diagnosed.  Keep the faith.
