I am new to the effect of my endometrial cancer. I had one round of chemotherapy, which made me very sick and dehydrated. I currently am on Hospice care b/c of events which occurred when I went to a rehab/nursing home after the chemotherapy. I am looking for support and knowledge about should I be on Hospice care or still seeing my oncologist.

@blancheruth This is so distressing that you needed care at a rehab/nursing home after one round of chemotherapy. I did not have chemotherapy when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (endometrial adenocarcinoma) in 2019 and had a recurrence in 2021. I did have radiation therapy, both external (pelvic) and internal (brachytherapy) which I realize now is so much easier on the body then chemotherapy.

My understanding is that everyone reacts a little different to chemotherapy infusions. It's difficult to share information without knowing more about why you are on hospice. Are you still at the rehab/nursing home? Did you talk with your oncologist about other options? What did your oncologist recommend and suggest?
