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

Posted by smmc2025 @smmc2025, Jan 20, 2025

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.

My oncologist said that the future may be just the Jemperli or other immunotherapy, and no chemo. I haven’t had any side effects but other people report things like rashes, or headaches. I have been lucky. It’s been about 15 months. I am on 1,000 mg
Hope that helps

@riverland889 thank you!! I am on Jemperli and have been during my 6 chemo treatments. Now going to just Jemperli every six weeks but 1000 instead of 500mg. Are you experiencing any side effects? I am hoping that my side effects were mainly from the chemo. I am only 2 weeks and 4 days out from my final chemo. Any insight you have would be appreciated.
All the best to you as we soldier on.
