Suspected Endometrial Cancer: Cervix won't open to do biopsy

Goodness! Monday 😬 I had three pelvic radiation treatments about six weeks after my surgery (over a week's time). Then I had six treatments of carboplatin and paclitaxil every three weeks (about four and a half months). For me, the radiation was negligible in terms of side effects, but that was not the case with chemo. What is happening on Monday? Will you be at Mayo? Will someone be able to come with you?

I had my trial run for radiation this morning. Everything lined up well and now I just need to drink a bit more water. She said they would have done the therapy but my bladder was only 75% full.
On Monday I have my first radiation and then right after I have 3-5 hours of Cisplatin. My husband is coming with me but that will be the only time he is allowed due to COVID.
Are you willing to share more of your experience with chemo? And anything that helped you along the way. I know everyone has a different experience but I am interested.
