Radiation or not after surgery for endometrial cancer?

@naturegirl5 I had uterine cancer stage 1a. the radiation Doctors keep saying after chemo I have %85 percent that the cancer is gone but if I get radiation then it will be more like %95 percent. I am 70 years old so I am not sure the difference makes a difference. I would be getting the Brachy radiation. I can not decide. My daughter wants me to do it.

@mom1955 I’m 68 and just completed 3 brachytherapy treatments. No pain during the treatments—slight discomfort in the afternoons. A little fatigue the next day. Would do it again in a heartbeat to get more protection. During my diagnostic phase for endometrial cancer two other docs said I might get brachytherapy so I felt comfortable saying yes. Best wishes for whatever you decide to do.

@mom1955 Since you are on the fence for brachytherapy, do you want to get another opinion? That may help you to decide.
