What Kind of Radiation Did You Get for Your Gynecological Cancer?

@tdfraze Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and our Gynecological Cancers Support Group. I was diagnosed with endometroid adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade 1, Stage 1a in 2019. In 2019 I had a radical hysterectomy with additional removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. I did not have any other treatment at that time. No radiation therapy or chemotherapy. I had a recurrence in 2021 found by physical exam by my nurse practitioner. I then had 5 weeks of external radiation therapy and 2 sessions of brachytherapy. I have had no recurrences since then or any evidence of disease.
When were you diagnosed and what treatment have you had or what is planned. How are you feeling?

I had the same total hysterectomy, including lymph nodes…..that were clear,
A week after surgery, I started my six infusions of chemo…no port….these were three weeks apart.
A week after my last chemo, I had five sessions of internal brachytherapy.
As of Friday blood work was good and I start my three month plan to visit my oncologist gynecologist along with blood work.
So far, so good!

Was diagnosed in May this year, stage 3 or grade 3 idk, but had the related organ failure, kidney due to tumors comprising tubes etc. Once tumors removed, the kidneys were fine. Had blood clots in legs,so those issues left my body at 95lbs, very weak couldn't eat much. So I gave myself recovery after surgery to gain weight,get stable. I gained 20lbs, and now trying to see what treatment is best, accurate to do. They want yo start radiation this next week 5 weeks. I do have the "Pole E"
