Endometrial Cancer Stage IIIC1

@bocabird
They make mitts and booties with freezeable inserts. I used them but still got neuropathy

I had similar diagnosis to yours. Had chemo and was well prepared by my oncology team and had little issues thankfully. I worked all the way through chemo and 25 EBRT and three brachytherapy. Worst side effect was fatigue. Had chemo on Thursday and worked Friday. Gave me the weekend to rest up. Did have strong cravings for Taco Bell taco two days after chemo each time. Maybe not the healthiest but sure tasted good. Take care

@belle4 The unknown is often really difficult for most people. That unknown creates so much ambiguity that it's difficult to know what you are supposed to prepare for. I hope that the support from others in our community has helped you with these unknowns. Keep asking questions and I know you will get responses from our community.

You are truly an inspiration.
I feel petty complaining about everything. Spoke with a good friend who is ovarian cancer free after 21 years and her advice was to treat chemo as my friend. So hoping to be more positive in future.

@mtstack It's a challenge to stay upbeat. Just switched to Enertu, slept two days night and day, threw up, nausea, weak. YUCK. But after first treatment my CA 125 score went from 599 to 400 something.

@aardvark2118 I am so impressed that you managed to work. Amazing.

@naturegirl5 got through my first treatment. Had about 72 hours of bone aches, fatigue, was manageable. No nausea so very grateful. Week 2 I feel real good!! Enjoying this time to gain strength for treatment 2. Feeling much more confident and prepared. I made a list of side effects and how I managed them for easy reference. Hugs to all the ladies that are in the midst of treatment. Be strong!! Thank you for your encouragement.

@mtstack I think of cancer cells like this. They’re like the ant hill you see on the sidewalk in the summertime. You stomp them out or throw a bucket of water on them. You *think* you got them all……. Until you see an ant 2 doors down that got away…….
Chemo will take care of that ant.

@bettydee
This is a great way to think about it! Let me add that my cancer was chemo resistant (metastasis while undergoing treatment) so if there was a chemo drug that would attack my unusual ants I would be happy to partake.

@ffr
My cancer has also been chemo resistant. Just after the 4th infusion I experienced spotting and a tumor was found in the vaginal cuff just before Christmas. My last two infusions were cancelled. PET scan revealed metastases to lungs, pelvic and pubic bones, lymph nodes and other areas.

Started keytruda and lenvima today. Meeting with radiation oncologist tomorrow to discuss PET scan and MRI of spine to see if radiation would help treat lumbar and hip pain which started two weeks ago, and spotting again for the past week.
