Clear Cell Endometrial Carcinoma: Rare, aggressive, hard to treat

Glenda,
Since they did a total hysterectomy, there is no need. After I completed the chemo, I went to a doctor every three months ( onocologist and gynecologist). The gynecologist always did a Pap smear. My onocologist would send me to testing if I had anything. 2 yrs later, I was having physical therapy for hip pain that didn't go away. The oncologist sent me for MRI with contrast and that's when they found the serous cancer again on my right hip bone.

I think that I would defer to experts about that. An if a dr tells that you don’t need it RUN to a couple others for another opinion

Hi Charlotte,
It seems I was a bit hasty about assuming I wouldn't need radiation at this time - they just decided not to sandwich it between the chemo. It may follow when the chemo would er and effects assessed. I hope you found the Endometrial Cancer Support Group helpful. There seems to be a lot of women on it that are in Stage 4 and taking a variety of drugs to resist recurrence or delay progress, but I guess success depends on a number of factors, including the type of EC. I would be interested in hearing what your oncologist has planned for you now.
