Hi! I am Sarah. I had clear cell uterine cancer . Stage 1. I had a full hysterectomy and 25 radiation treatments in one month and 5 implant radiation the next month.(one a week) My surgery was in Jan, my radiation in April and May. I continued to work through it all. Just got worn down from the trips and all. Now in August I turned 65 and retiring in Sept. Just tired and done with work. Want to enjoy life again, this year has been an all around kick in the butt! I am fine physically, need to get my strength back. Dr checks every 3 months. How is your treatment going?

Hi @sarahmsj and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Despite being diagnosed with early stage clear cell uterine cancer, you certainly have had all the treatments. I can't imagine working through all that and dealing with COVID, etc. I can imagine that you're worn out and really looking forward to retirement in September.

Did you have to travel far for treatment? What you say you need to get your strength back, are you referring mostly to fatigue or also physical strength?
