@misslinda It’s great that you are recovering so well from the hysterectomy. Isn’t it amazing that such major surgery can be done endoscopically so that you have small incisions? My gyn-oncologist told me, though, that I still had the same amount of healing on the inside to expect and that would take about 6 weeks.

What kind of endometrial cancer? Adenocarcinoma? Clear cell? Serous? Some uterine cancers are more aggressive than others so that could make a difference in treatment. Also, do you know the Stage of your diagnosis?

Here is a good resource for the types of endometrial cancer, stages, and treatments from the American Cancer Society:

At your first appointment in Radiation Oncology I suggest that you ask the radiation oncologist that very question about whether or not this is the usual treatment. Why is vaginal brachytherapy recommended for you? Was the cancer found outside of the uterine (you said it was not) but I wonder if your surgeon suggested radiation at the vaginal cuff to prevent recurrence since that it is a common place for recurrence to appear. That’s what my gyn-oncologist told me which was why I had cancer surveillance appointments every 6 months with a physical exam.

Write your questions out ahead of time and take notes. Also, do you have someone who will go to the appointment with you? A second pair of ears for listening is so very helpful for information you might miss and for support.
