@mom1955 I have same cancer and had a hysterectomy last summer just like you. I saw 3 oncologist at 3 major cancer centers to determine whether chemo and radiation were warranted. From that, I learned that the biggest determination for chemo and radiaton is whether any of the stage 1 cancer cells had broken through the lining into the muscular layer. If it did, spread through the lymphatic and/or blood is more likely. The more it has penetrated that layer, the more treatment is warranted.

@inquirer it also depends on whether you've had previous radiation to the area. If so, like me, radiation was not advised. Systemic therapy alone did the trick. My stage was IIIC.
