Endometrial cancer at a late age

@alohman08 I was diagnosed with the same cancer at same stage. I then learned that Stage 1a is broad. Do you mind sharing how much spread they found beyond the uterine lining? Was it in the muscular layer of your uteris? I ask because I was going to start chemo but 2 doctors said "wait and see" was best for me. Scary, cause all it takes is one rogue cell.

@inquirer hi my cancer was caught very early on a routine Pap smear I was told that it was a tiny spec that had not penetrated the uterine wall .. there was no cancer found anywhere else .. no lymph nodes .. chemotherapy was not recommended which I was happy to hear ... 18 months later it recurred in my abdomen on my omentum.. I was told that chemo was necessary and I had 6 treatments and by end of the treatments my scan was clean NED.. I continued with 30 min infusions of Herceptin for 18 months and when my CA125 started to trend up a PET scan showed very early node activity.. I began treatment with Enhertu and I am once again cancer free ... I hope that this new treatment which is a targeted rather than systematic chemo with fewer side effects keeps the cancer at bay forever !
