Are there any other MMMT survivors out there?

    Are you still alive? Your post is dated 2016. It's 2025 now and I am thinking of foregoing the chemo, etc as well. From what I hear it's even worse than the disease

    he diane (hope you don't mind me just using that name) as you see this is an old post. A few years ago CSN updated their site and it can be challenging for old and new members to find things.

    I would recommend starting a new thread by going to the Uterine/Endometrial page and clicking on "New Topic". This will allow everyone to easily add/follow. I do know there are some survivors out there but I am not sure how often they visit this page.

    Hugs dear.

    I had eight phases of chemo (4 of one pair and 4 of another). You can read about my treatment plan by clicking my profile pic. I was able to work during the first four infusions, although I was more tired than normal. The last four chemo infusions were much more difficult than the first four, but the medical oncologist did provide some additional supportive care during this period that helped me get through these last infusions.

    I had no symptoms from cancer, except for vaginal bleeding that stopped after surgery. So I can't compare the disease to treatment. But I was able to work full-time within a month after chemo ended. And I elected to have 25 radiation treatments as a preventative measure a couple of months later. I worked during this period as well.

    Cancer treatments are no walk in the park, but in my case, they have kept me cancer-free for nine years after diagnosis.
