Grade 1
I was diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis cancer
stage 1 I only had surgery
St. 3c2 clear cell, Aug. 2023, had hysterectomy, robotically, not too bad. I am 83 so I may have been more tired.
Had 6 rds. Chemo. Every 3 weeks..fatigue was a big issue and not myself for 1 week. 2 weeks not too bad. 3 rds. Radiation, now on immunitherapy. Keytruda. Joint pain is my side effect.
Also Neulasta...took claritin for bone pain and it really worked...day after chemo got the shot.
Now I am doing good. I get a scan every 3 mo.
Another problem is I have to have an aorta valve replacement, a TAVR.
In the near future, not related to the cancer.
Stage 1
Stsge 3
I was diagnosed with stage 1 Grade 4 in 2011. Had 3 rounds of chemo followed by 25 pelvic radiation, 3 brachytherapy and 3 more rounds of chemo. So far, so good.
Stage 1a adenoma grade 2, one suspicious cell noted on right node with s.node mapping. Lap.Total hysterectomy. 25 pelvic radiation tx. Follow up pelvic exams every 6 months after first year. April will be my fifth year graduation of surveillance. Just was released from my radiation oncologist. So very grateful!!
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.
