Clear Cell Endometrial Carcinoma: Rare, aggressive, hard to treat
Gynecologic Cancers | Last Active: Nov 3, 2022 | Replies (52)Comment receiving replies
Hello- I was diagnosed with ECIII clear cell carcinoma in June of 22’ with surgery in July of 22’. I just got finished with radiation last week and go back for a check up in 6 weeks. I really liked my radiation oncologist and her whole team and the support they gave me.. I was advised to get chemo first and then have radiation, but I had a horrible reaction to Taxol and decided to forgo chemo and just do radiation. Sorry for being long winded, but has anyone with a similar diagnosis just done radiation without chemo? Praying I made the right choice but I just personally felt I would be a bad chemo candidate. Thx

Hi, after my diagnosis I just started researching every medical endometrial clear cell study I could find.
Since it’s a rare cancer, there aren’t as many studies as say, about breast cancer, or a more common version of endometrial cancer.
But the studies I did find all showed that clear cell responds a lot better to radiation than to chemo.
So there I do think you made the right call. Also, this journey is different for each and everyone of us. I think you truly listened to your body when it reacted in such a way to the chemo. And shouldn’t we all listen to our bodies?
Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery!
