Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?

I just returned from Mayo for labs and the initial CT scan after chemo and radiation. Luckily, I have no evidence of disease. It has been four months since surgery and I am progressing well, but still have some side effects that hopefully will resolve in time. These are neuropathy (even with the cold gloves and slippers) some incontinence and some bowel oddities. After the 4th chemo, I am very fatigued, out of breath and have no stamina but with time these things should resolve. My surgery was uneventful and I am recovering nicely. I am so grateful that I came to Mayo for a second opinion, surgery, and have been treated by a terrific team who know how to treat UPSC. Now I am in survivorship mode and on to the next stage of my life.

Glad things are going well for you bluemeade7! It’s scary at first isn’t it? I found it desoncerting to be told we dont really know if this chemo works for you or not ....What chemo drugs did you have for 4 rounds? And did radiation involve whole abdomen? Will the incontinence and odd bowel stuff resolve and did you have radiation after surgery, and chemo? My 6th round definitely left me with neuropathy in my feet but nowhere else and only this round so I hope it goes away as its like walking with a plank of wood at the bottom of my legs...quite weird and no sensation to hot or cold. Amazing what they can do with surgery now leaving little marks instead of major scars..and super short recovery time..physically that is, mentally it does take a bit to come to terms with it all.
