Anyone living with metastatic endometrial Cancer? What treatments?

Hello, Miriam, I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. You are having radiation treatments for 5 weeks? Does this mean 25 radiation treatments in total? And then in February you will start chemotherapy? How are you doing with all of this? Can your partner take care of the shopping and cooking as I imagine all of this is emotionally overwhelming for you?

Not sure if my answer went through
I am having 5 days in a row if radiotherapy to try and shrink the tumor they saw on Dec. 15.
Then Feb 3 I start 18 weeks of
Cysplatin and Germa something?
They will do weekly sessions and then one week off. Until I have 18 weeks or they determine it isn’t working.

Good to see you here and anyone else that might be going through this.
They are doing 5 days of radiation just to try to shrink the tumor before this next round of chemo
It will be Cysplatin and Germa something.
It will be for 18 weeks , once a week.
It will be three weeks on, one week off until I have have had 18 rounds.
Insurance initially turned it down, but the oncologist called insurance and explained a trial that was done.
Do we will do.
How are you?
