I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 1996 followed by a complete hysterectomy. I was told it was Stage 1 non aggressive and did not penetrate the uterine wall. Six years later I had a metastasis attached to my outer colon and hip bone. Surgery removed the portion of my colon where it was but there were a lot of cancer cells on my hip bone. That was in 2002. I had the best radiation oncologist I could ever ask for. He said he had to give me very strong radiation that could cure me or kill me but there was no alternative because of the severity of the metastasis which was the size of a tennis ball. I honestly made peace with the situation and the possibilities. I have a strong faith which kept me sane. I was quite ill during radiation and for a couple of years after. Then I began a slow recovery and finally was able to lead a pretty normal life except for the effects of the colon resection which caused a lot of IBS. But here it is 2024 and I'm here writing to you. That's 20 years later! We don't know what our future holds. Take one day at a time. There were times I had to take one hour at a time. I never had chemo for it so I can't speak to that issue, sorry. My prayers for your return to good health.

@chrissiebee Thank you so much for sharing your story. May you have many more years.

Thank you for sharing you courageous story with me. 20 years is a long time and I am grateful that overall, you have lived a pretty normal life. You and all those who have kind enough to share their cancer journeys have given me courage, grace and faith that that I will grow old enough see my grandchildren graduate from high school and possible college as I am 68 yrs young! Thank you and God Bless.
