Diagnosed 07/2012
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
received robotic surgery TAH.
received vaginal radiation
received chemotherapy of
Carboplatin / placitel
6 round every 21days
Then told cancer removed.

2016 DIAGNOSED same cancer returned
received RADIATION 5 days a week for 8-9 weeks
Then told cancer removed.

2022 DIAGNOSED
Cancer returned
Jan thru March 2023 received carboplatin and some other chemo drug
Once every 21 days
Stopped due to debilitating side effects
THEN CT shows metastasized 07/2023
received display in / gemzar
Had stroke effects treatment stopped THEN
14 DAYS later smaller dosages of display in and increased steroids to prevent adverse reaction given
LESS SEVERE side effect there cisplatin stopped and Gemzar only given EVERY 14 days August - September 2023
THEN admitted I to hospital 10/12/23 due to side effects of chemotherapy. CT done and was told TERMINAL no further treatment provided.
Told 6 MONTHS to live!!

My question from 07/23 CT to 10/23 CT even after receiving chemo then told above? How is it possible that in 2 months time doctors now see no improvement even giving chem every 14 days??

I feel that ENDOMETRIAL CANCER has not been addressed with research to cure the lesions that come back and patients are put through debilitating side effects with no real course of action thoroughly known to cure that cancer.
Maybe patients are better off without the misery of chemotherapy and it's side effects.
I feel used up by the oncologist group or team who agreed to continue in "hopes of" remission of disease when NO OTHER OPTION is researched to find a drug or systematic process to eradicate the cancer.
Just an FYI.
Thank for allowing me to share.
