My endometrial adenocarcinoma diagnosis was an accidental discovery as I had no symptoms. During a different medical test I was encouraged to be checked out by a gynecologist and was then diagnosed with a grade 3 endometrial cancer February 2023.
I underwent a hysterectomy followed by 6 cycles of Chemotherapy with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, followed by 4 cycles of Brachytherapy that I finished December 2023.
The side effects for me were Nausea and I chose not to take nausea medication. Instead I boiled ginger root and drank ginger tea which alleviated the symptom.
It is very important to write every question you have to ask when you see your oncologist. You may also want to read the information available for this diagnosis in the American Cancer Society website that may help you formulate additional questions.
The one thing I would suggest is to email the Cleveland Clinic mentoring program at https://4thangel.ccf.org. You do not have to be a patient of the Cleveland Clinic to join and I found this program very helpful. I was matched with a mentor that had the same stage and grade of endometrial cancer that I had and underwent the same treatment. She was extremely helpful sharing her experience after being cancer free for 10 years.
We are with you in this journey.
