Symptoms from radiation/chemo 4 endometrial cancer?
Ladies, if you could share your radiation & chemo symptoms and what you did to alleviate them? I’m getting ready for approx five weeks of these treatments for recurring endometrial cancer in upper right vaginal cuff. I’m nearly 5 years from endometrial cancer & complete hysterectomy. Recurrence discovered at physical exam in Sept 2024, followed by CT, Pet scan and biopsy. Pathology showed recurrence of same adenocarcinoma Figo 1, Grade 1 in vaginal cuff. Thank you for your support.

@smmc2025 I responded to you on another Discussion and would like to say again that I am grateful my recurrence was found and treated. I had the same diagnosis as you. The recurrence was found on physical exam in the vaginal cuff and pathology confirmed a recurrence of endometrial adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade 1. I then had a PET/MR which showed no evidence of disease anywhere else which was a huge relief. I had external beam and brachytherapy radiation therapy.
Here is a Discussion I started awhile back. You might like to read through this as it concerns radiation therapy and there were many responses to this Discussion.

When will your treatment begin and what will the sequence be?
I think the same thing is happening to me. It's been 6 years since my Ed operation. I had radiation treatment only and no chemo treatment. My radiation treatment lasted for about 4 weeks. It seems like fluid built up in my abdomen I had it removed and I'm waiting on results
