Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?
Is there anyone out there who has gone through the treatments for this? I have had surgery , and chemo taxes/carboplatin. Radiation is suggested but no one seems to have any data to refer to as we are such a small group I’m guessing. Very nervous moving forward as to what to do.

Would have been stage 1 except 2 paaortic nodes were pos but nothing had leaked out of them. So stage 3c. As the radiation would be adjuvant and I just finished my round 6 of chemo I am undecided as cant find any data on benefit of it. Some provinces use it but others don't. I guess if the benefits were good then the protocol would be used everywhere. I need a few more answers before I decide. To do that as well. Everything roemoved had no signs of it. Including the pelvic washings. Just those 2 nodes . I don't rad about many survivors so it is discouraging but I remain positive.

1 ReactionHi @goldengirl2, It must be a challenge to get information as well as support from others when dealing with a rare cancer such as uterine papillary serous carcinoma. I see that @judithvt posted on Connect a while ago about UPSC. I'm not sure if she is still monitoring the discussions, but hope she join us if she is.
@diane060 @mdotsie and others talk about endometrial cancer in these discussions:

GoldenGirl, what stage is your cancer? Will you be getting whole abdominopelvic radiation therapy?
