What helps prevent recurrence of endometrial cancer?

@pangasinan143, welcome. I pulled your comment into a discussion of its own. It's a good question. I see from your profile that you were diagnosed with endometrial cancer just a few months ago (Jan 2026) and recently finished readiation and are now receiving chemo treatments.
Of course, you want to do everything you can to prevent or reduce your risk of it coming back. While there are no full proof ways to 100% prevent recurrence, living a healthy life style can help reduce risk. Things like maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and eat a nutritious diet.
Have you and your oncologist talked about specific risk factors that you need to consider?

It has been a year since my diagnosis and the chemo and radiation treatments behind me.
I'd say be your strongest advocate, ask questions of your cancer team, and do what they tell you to do. Seek out integrative treatments but know that Medicare doesn't cover most of them like naturopathic medicine or acupuncture unless you have medicare advantage. And most importantly stay positive and take good care of yourself.

I had a total hysterectomy one week ago stage 1A abnormal P53
Terrified about six rounds of chemo I have a 50-50 chance of it coming back reoccurring
