Endometrial Cancer Stage IIIC1

I had the carbo/taxol chemo and managed better than expected. I was fatigued and had a diminished appetite the first days after each infusion. Smoothies and soup got me through. Then I would get crazy cravings and I knew that my appetite was back. Sadly, I was deemed to be chemo resistant as I had recurrence to the lymph nodes prior to my final treatment. Then I had external radiation followed by two brachytherapy treatments. Because of my high grade cancer the oncologist threw everything at me after surgery. This was the recommendation of the tumor board as well as the second & third opinions that I sought out. This was before biomarkers became part of treatment decisions.
I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for replying...I really appreciate it.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had recurrence prior to your last cycle. I hope that external radiation and brachytherapy were helpful.
