Symptoms from radiation/chemo for endometrial cancer? What helps?

I am in similar situation to smmc2025. I was 3 years post full hysterectomy (did hyster because of bleeding, a tumor was found in the endometrium); Recurrence discovered 3 years later via pelvic exam. CT, Pet scan and biopsy followed, Pathology showed recurrence of same adenocarcinoma Figo 1, Grade 1 in my left vaginal cuff. I then did 5 weeks external radiation with once a week low dose chemo (cisplatin); the 5 sessions of brachytherapy. I didn't think there could possible be anything left after that. But a bit still showed on my scans. So now, because I can't do anymore radiation in that area, I have done 5 immunotherapy infusions (30 min a session), 3 weeks apart. Now switching to 6 weeks. Doing fine, recent scan was clear. No side effects yet. Keeping fingers crossed. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Riverland889-so helpful; thank you. I’ve been hesitant about the immunotherapy; can you share which drug they used for immunotherapy? They’re mentioning Jemperli? To me. Wishing you complete healing and recovery.

Jemperli. My oncologist explained that this particular drug is very receptive to my type of cancer, which sounds like it could be for yours also (but I'm NOT a doctor LOL). I don't want to jinx it, but so far I have no side effects and have received 5 infusions. Wishing you the best of luck in getting the proper treatment. please feel free to communicate with me.

@riverland889 what immunotherapy did you have?

@belle4
I’m receiving Jemperli now every 6 weeks, 1/2hour infusion. When I first started it was every 3 weeks. I have been on it for over a year and will likely stay on it for another two years if all keeps going well.
