I just want to chime in snd wish you luck. I was diagnosed with Stage IVb EC in 2019. Adenocsrcinoma (95%) and papillary serous (5%) grade 2. No radiation but only chemo. Since I was a suboptimal debulking (tumors remained on diaphragm, as well as lymph node that could not be removed due to the ureter and iliac vein basically embedded) radiation is being kept for a likely recurrence.

Hi giginorth -

Thank you for sharing your story here. Yes, that is one of my worries - I understand that you only get one chance with the treated brachytherapy area since the radiation "remembers" where the treatment occurred.

Wishing you all the best
