I think it is so easy to look backwards and see signs that we didn’t notice at the time, or assumed were something else. Do not beat yourself up over it. I had signs that I probably should have picked up on and rationalized as something else, and didn’t get checked until spotting began. I am 3 months post radiation and 6 months post surgery now after grade 3 endometrial cancer, and finally starting to feel more energy. Focus on your recovery and the good days that wait for you on the other side! I am now back to biking, dancing, gardening, and preparing for my daughter’s wedding in 2 weeks! Always move forward. Best wishes to you.

I'm grade 3 endometrial cancer, radical hysterectomy post radiation (3wks). I push myself a lot, but extremely weak, lots of tingling in my hands feet, here and there elsewhere. Started during radiation,told Dr about it, Seems sude effect of radiation. Did you have that, and was it ongoing for awhile afterward?

Thank you for your encouraging words.

Hi. My scenario seems very similar to yours..
My radiologist wants me to have a PET scan before moving forward with radiation. That will be in a few weeks as I just completed my 6th cycle of chemo. What can you tell me that will help me be prepared for radiation. Dr has recommended 25 external beam treatments and 2 or 3 bracchy treatments for recurrence prevention. Anything you can share will be helpful.
