Uterine/Endometrial Cancer

Lymph nodes and pressure in veins
Hello, I've was diagnosed with uterine cancer about 6 weeks ago, had a total hysterectomy along with lymph node removal, (I've not yet found out how many or if all were removed from my groin area-I will be asking at my follow-up visit in a few days). I also haven't gotten my staging yet. My question is, my right inner leg…
Endometrial Cancer Recurrence
Hello Everyone, I’m here for my mother. She was diagnosed with Stage 1A Grade 2 endometrial cancer in November 2021 and had hysterectomy the next month. We were told no chemo or radiation was needed since there was no lymph node or other organ involvement. We took my mother to the ER September 2022 and they found the…
Four years after mixed serous/clear cell uterine cancer, and no evidence of recurrence.
When I was first diagnosed, I found hope here in the postings by long-term survivors of this highly aggressive cancer, in addition to the amazing companionship and support from the women on here who were so generous in sharing their time and their experience and their advice. I'm now four years out from diagnosis, probably…

Silly questions about radiotherapy
I'm starting radiotherapy in a couple of weeks..what can I wear that I don't have to take off? Can I wear long socks (only just over the knee)? It's just getting into winter here, I'm in Scotland so it's going to be VERY cold! Do I take my shoes off? Can I wear a t-shirt and just hitch it up? I definitely don't want to…

Rise in CA125 in 6 months after last chemo
Has anyone experience a rise in CA-125 in 6 months after the last chemo. Mine jumped from 9 to 40 and I’m alarmed. I’m having CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis next Friday, 9/23/22.

5 Years NED – Uterine Carcinosarcoma (MMMT)
I saw my gynecological oncologist today and I’m happy to report that I’m still NED, five years after my treatment for Stage 3B, uterine carcinosarcoma (MMMT) ended. When I was first diagnosed, reading reports of others with this type of cancer who had survived for several years gave me cause to hope that I might have the…

Had full laparoscopic hysterectomy early August (overall healing ok) - no spread, lymph nodes clean - but positive pelvic wash. Surgeon and hematologist have put out the option of taking letrozole…
Help! Sentinel lymph node biopsy? Endometrial cancer level 1
Wonderful to find this website! I've been sitting around alone worrying and wondering. In a few days I am having a full hysterectomy due to endometrial cancer that has "probably" advanced to left adnexa, per CT scan. My doctor wants to do sentinel lymph node mapping removal and biopsy, but if that is unsuccessful, she…
Post vaginal brachytherapy side effects
Diagnosed with stage 1a after total hysterectomy and will meet with radiologist next week. I was told it is up to me if I want to do further treatment as my pathology was very clean. I would be interested in any potential side effects that you may have experienced with this therapy. The limiting factor is my age (68);…

I started radiation treatment on August 10th. I am scheduled to start brachytherapy next Wednesday September 7th, and three additional treatments, along…
