Hi. Anyone else diagnosed with stage 4b cancer? Last December had an 8 hour surgery to remove lady parts and the visible uterine cancer that spread and was wrapped around my bladder and other parts. 6 rounds Chemo ended in April. now in immunotherapy infusions for years.


Having all kinds of side effects. Hoping others have been through this and come out better…

Did you get the feeling back in your hands? The joint pain - when does that end? The exhaustion?

Thanks

    Hi Kim,

    Stage 4b here, too. Had my hysterectomy last November, 6 rounds of chemo, 5 rounds of radiation and the Immunotherapy not keeping the cancer at bay so I'm back on chemo.

    Sorry that you're having all kinds of side effects. Here, too and glad to hear I'm not alone. The latest is sounding like I'm losing my voice 3 days out of treatment. I never lost feeling in my hands but did in my feet. Hasn't improved yet.

    Wishing you the best!

    Liz
