Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?

Posted by goldengirl2 @goldengirl2, Oct 25, 2018

Is there anyone out there who has gone through the treatments for this? I have had surgery , and chemo taxes/carboplatin. Radiation is suggested but no one seems to have any data to refer to as we are such a small group I’m guessing. Very nervous moving forward as to what to do.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

Hi @speck634,
I am doing well, thank you. I am 6 years NED, as of this past Nov. and I feel really good. I do not have any major long term side effects from treatment, other than some neuropathy in my feet - and by neuropathy, I mean some tingling and numbness, no pain. Staying on a regimen of B vitamins seems to help me some with that. I am still working - teaching - and lead an active life. Life is good. I am sorry about your diagnosis. How are you doing? Strange, I have not been on the Mayo site for quite some time, but your post stood out and I happened to see it. I'm glad I did. I do not do Facebook.
