I just wanted to say hi. I am new to the board. I was diagnosed in February of 2011 with EC. The details are in my bio.

I am getting Proton at MD Anderson and am wondering if anyone else has received Proton Beam Therapy instead of regular radiation.

Blessings to all,
--Deborah

    Sorry to hear of your
    Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I am a caregiver of an EC survivor. My husband had chemo/radiation and surgery and tests currently show NED. I may have overlooked it in your bio, but I didn't see the staging information. From what you are describing, it sounds like you are not a candidate for surgery? There are many on here who have much more knowledge than I do. Just wanted to say, "Hello and best of luck."
