Looking for others in similar situation-endometrial carcinoma recurred

@clo7277 This must have been devastating when you received the diagnosis. Had you been diagnosed with cancer prior to 2022? If I might ask, when you received the first diagnosis in 2022 what treatment did you have then? Did your hysterectomy spare ovaries, fallopian tubes or cervix? My understanding is that even when the uterus is removed during surgery endometriosis can grow back after surgery.
With the chemotherapy and hormone suppressant meds how are you feeling today?

No cancer prior to 2022. When first diagnosed it was surgery and then chemo. The first surgery for the hysterectomy took the uterus and cervix, second surgery for Endo also took out fallopian tubes along with more Endo. Third surgery was the one that took out the tumors and they also took the ovaries. The chemo I had was brutal and I'm still dealing with side effects. With this recurrence there is talk of a different chemo pair to try so I'm hoping for less side effects.
