Would have been stage 1 except 2 paaortic nodes were pos but nothing had leaked out of them. So stage 3c. As the radiation would be adjuvant and I just finished my round 6 of chemo I am undecided as cant find any data on benefit of it. Some provinces use it but others don't. I guess if the benefits were good then the protocol would be used everywhere. I need a few more answers before I decide. To do that as well. Everything roemoved had no signs of it. Including the pelvic washings. Just those 2 nodes . I don't rad about many survivors so it is discouraging but I remain positive.

@goldengirl2 you mention "Some provinces use it but others don't." Am I to understand that you live in Canada?

I read in the abstract of this 2014 study that "vaginal cuff brachytherapy is also of potential benefit in USC" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3984476/
Is brachytherapy the type of radiation being suggested for you?
