Papillary serous endometrial and ovarian carcinoma stage 3. Had the complete hysterectomy. Taxol, Carbo, and immunotherapy with Herceptin.
If I had it all to do over again…I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Did my immunity get lowered? Yes, for a while. But through allowing time to heal, carful masking and no crowds, good vitamins, minerals, healthy diet and exercise…I’m healthy and enjoying life so much. I would say I am as close to my old self as I can be at my age with no ovaries or estrogen.
If this does reoccur, I will deal with it then. I do natural therapies with an integrative medicine doctor for now, so it keeps my spirits high as I feel proactive in my healing.
I hate that I live with the cancer cloud now, and chemotherapy was scary, and uncomfortable, sometimes there was pain, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as my imagination expected! Fear of the unknown is powerful. You will get through this.

@elaine9 I am about to have my 2nd treatment with same chemo and Herceptin. I did 6 treatments from March to June with the Carbo and taxol and immunotherapy. I had hysterectomy Aug 20th. PET scan showed only one area that was active. I did very well the first round of treatments. I was also stage 3C and after surgery I put at stage 4. My question for you is......are you finished with all chemo and if so what maintenance regime are you on now? If you had to have more chemo is it safe to do so? I will have a scan after my 3rd treatment and if things look OK he said I'll continue with immunotherapy only. Since he initially said that though my local oncologist, at last visit, has me down for 6 treatments with the Herceptin. She actually carries out the gynecological surgeons orders since he's an hour away. Did you have any side affects from the Herceptin? Are you in remission now? I breezed through the first 6 treatments of chemo. I was never sick. Just a little tired and of course the bone pain a few days was rough. I'm just praying these treatments knock out the rest and I can ring that bell. 😊🙏🏻
@elaine9 I could have written this. I am very interested in your experience. Would you be interested in talking through private messaging?
