I think once your pulmonary issues resolve you'll be in much better shape to address the optimal therapeutic regimens to effectively provide you with a sustained clinical response. Did you recieve any reports with regard to the cytopathology, immune staining and oncogene expression detected in your biopsies. These may be instructive as to composition of a targeted chemotherapeutic regimen to attack your tumor. On the upside there are several new agents in development for EC. You may want to investigate your eligibility for participation in these trials. You can find a list of current ongoing trials that are currently recruiting participants or that are planned/approved at the FDA's Clinicaltrial.gov web site.
On another note, if you wish to speake with me directly, I would be happy to do so. You can DM through WhatsApp or Facebook.
In the interim, you'll just have to embrace the suck and power through the physical challenges that cancer presents to you on a daily basis. Maintain a positive mental attitude and resolve that you are going to do everything in your power to beat your disease. I always remind myself of two of the Stoic philosophical mantras:
Obstaculum fit modo: the obstacle becomes the way.
Memento mori: remember, we all die
Carpe diem.
