Hi @gormie. I was diagnosed with high-grade papillary serous uterine carcinoma Stage1a, Grade 3, Type 2 in the summer of 2018 at age 58. Well really 59, because I had surgery a day after my 59th birthday - total robotic abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saplingo-oophorectomy, removal of omentum, & 19 lymph nodes. My lymph nodes all looked good, but I did have some "trace" amounts in my pelvic washings. One month after surgery, I had a port put in, then the day after that I began chemotherapy - Carboplatin & Taxol every 3 weeks for 6 treatments. One week after my 1st chemo treatment, I began Brachytherapy - I had 5 of these, every other day for 2 weeks, directed at my vaginal cuff. These were completed before I had my 2nd round of chemo. I really had no side effects from the Brachytherapy, other than minimal spotting after the 1st treatment. I did not have issues with nausea or diarrhea however, at the time I was also on a lot of anti-nausea meds for the chemo. Maybe that had something to do with it? I have been NED 3 years now and have not noticed any long-term side effects. It is hard not to worry "why me" when you are hearing that this is unusual or typically does not happen. But just because it IS happening to you does not necessarily mean you should worry more. We are all different! What is important is to listen to your doctors, try to figure out what you can do about it, and advocate for yourself - and it sounds like you are doing all of these. I am sorry this is happening to you. This whole cancer thing is a different level of scary and some moments it feels like you are all alone, no matter how many may be around you. But you are not alone, everyone here gets it and is willing to listen and offer support and suggestions. So lean on us, we are here 🙂
