Hi, In April 2025, I was diagnosed with Uterine Serous Cancer stage 2c m (p53abn) myometrial invasion < 50% with no lymph or spread outside of that. I had surgery May 29. 6 rounds of chemo is the standard of care, so I am told. I had 1 session of chemo in July and had extreme painful neuropathy in my feet and hands. They are still numb. Treatment was put on hold to allow my body to recover. I had Signatera test in August and result was positive (although low mil) so I am considering doing another chemo session and retaking Signatera test 4 weeks out as my Oncologist recommends. Hopefully, the next test will be negative. Like you, I was surprised at her high 5y OS and recurrence rate numbers. I do not want a reduced quality of life from 6 rounds of chemo that may land me in a wheelchair due to the neuropathy.

I'm so sorry that you experienced this. There isn't really any way to predict who will suffer most with this. Your doctor can and probably will reduce the amount of drug you receive. They stab us with the most possible for our size then turn it down to deal with the reactions we the have. I had reductions both Toxal and carboplatin twice. I'm currently cancer free.

I have been using the cold gloves and socks during chemo. So far my hands are fine and only very slight neuropathy in a few toes.
