Post-treatment follow up for clear cell endometrial cancer

Has your doctor ordered the blood test for the Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4)? It is just a clue and does not provide a 100% diagnosis.

I am not sure if this blood marker is used as a monitoring protocol or just used pre-treatment. Something you might ask your doctor. Are you doing anything to combat inflammation which is a driver of cancer? Best of luck to you, dealing with all of this daily is a head trip no one would willingly sign up for!

Thank you for this information. I never heard of HE4 and it’s certainly not on my lab scripts. Sounds like I have more “cancer homework” to do.
Re inflammation: improving my diet has been somewhat successful.
The cancer journey is indeed not a trip I would have self-selected, but it has reinforced the knowledge that women come to each other’s aid with grace and support.
