actually i managed to get a second opinion with mayo in phoenix and they liked what i got (6 treatments with cisplatin and taxol plus herceptin) and every 3 weeks with herceptin. they actually did the pathology and read the ct-scans, not just looking at the results. very impressed. i'm not sure how uterine is different from endometrial but i don't think it can't be that different? i thought herceptin gives you a lot (9.3 vs 17.7 months?)
i think this might have been the study:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32601075/
i think there were other studies on the cancer share website. certainly did not get any info from oncologist(s).

That is interesting. My cancer is HER2 negative and the p53 designation makes it even harder to treat. I’m definitely interested in finding Clinical Trials/studies that I may be eligible for. As you mentioned about USC not being classified as Endometrial, all that I have read says it is nonEndometroid. Totally different risk factors especially regarding obesity/BMI, diabetes and Hypertension which are not usually associated with USC but are associated with most Endometrial cancers in general.
