@naturegirl5 I also had endometrial cancer with a hysterectomy, Stage 1 , did not penetrate the uterus, and was told never to worry about it again. No chemo, no radiation. Unfortunately to everyone's shock I had a metastasis of it 6.5 years later. The metastasis was attached to my outer colon and hip bone. I had a colon resection and a long course of heavy radiation. The radiation oncologist said it would either cure me or kill me but w/o it, there really wasn't much hope. Radiation was tough because there was a lot of cancer on my hip bone. That was in 2002. I am still alive and doing well. Chemo back then was not suggested because I was told that the chemo back then was not very effective. From the removal of my lymph nodes during surgery, over a decade later I developed lymphedema in my legs. Then in 2021 I developed bladder cancer and was informed it was caused by so much radiation. BTW, I also had breast cancer in 1998 so had radiation then (no chemo). I successfully completed chemo directly into my bladder for a year and am doing fine. Hallelujah! If I had to do it over again, I would choose the same path with no chemo. I understand it's very successful for many. I watched my sister who had Stage IV breast cancer with a year of chemo suffer tremendously and died a year later. I decided that was not a path I wanted to take. Just a personal choice since my first diagnosis was at age 50 and I'm now 80.
