Stage 4 Adenoma
I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 8/21. Had the hysterectomy and was stage 1, grade 1A. Had brachytherapy for 3 times. In 9/22 developed pain in lower right quadrant. After searching through several doctors I found out that my er visit ended with a misdiagnose of an internal hematoma which it wasn't. It was a reoccurrence of the uterine in one of the ports from surgery. In Feb 23 before radiation I had a pt/ct scan and another small reoccurrence was again found in the abdominal wall. Then 28 days of external radiation. I am ok after that with 3 month surveillance and 6 months scans. Still so scary and I am still in the unknown.

3C had surgery, internal and external radiation, and 6 rounds of chemo.
Stage 1a. I had a radical hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy and they also took several lymph nodes. It was done by laparascopic surgery with a robotic assist - 1 overnight stay in the hospital. Pathology showed no other signs of cancer other than a 1.5mm serrous carcinoma in an endometrial polyp. But in still concerned about reoccurrence because it was serrous. I'm 2 weeks out from surgery, ceiling pretty good other than incision tenderness and perineum pain. And some muscle pain when I over do it (which is often). I live with my son and his family so I have lots of help around.
Stage 2
3C
Stage 3
I was diagnosed with stage 4 and chemo didn’t work. The cancer had spread beyond the radiation area. So I went on Keytruda and Lenvima. I did have brain lesions that caused a seizure. They were radiated and I’m on anti seizure medication. The cancer seems to be shrinking or disappearing. I feel blessed that I’ve come this far. My surgery was November 2022 and uterus, ovaries and 7 lymph nodes were removed.
I was diagnosed with stage 1a endometrial cancer in June 2021. Had full hysterectomy but because it was a serous carcinoma, I neede 18 rounds of chemo plus about 28 rounds of radiation both pelvic and brachytherapy. So far I’m hanging in, and feeling ok just a bit anxious that the cancer doesn’t return
