Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?

Posted by goldengirl2 @goldengirl2, Oct 25, 2018

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

Goldengirl2: Blood work is fine, if your CA125 and HE4,S are within normal range, but be alerted if either of these tests seem to increase in four consecutive tests, even if they are still within normal range. It may be a very early sign of recurrence. Even CT scans might not be beneficial at that early stage.

Thank you, Polka Gal. I wish you and Golden Girl continuing excellent results on your check-ups. I have been thinking about you because I have become involved with an organization called SHARE in NY. They have been around a while offering support for breast and ovarian cancer survivors. This year they added uterine cancer survivors to their family. I am training to join their Helpline. They presented an excellent one-hour online program recently by Dr. Jennifer Mueller, gynecologic cancer surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the newest research for uterine cancer, including USPS.

@goldengirl2 you are so kind! 😊 Mine was mid-Feb & all is well! CA125 holding steady at 7 and everything else good. Feeling very blessed and grateful. Praying the same will be true for you on March 20, I will be thinking of you especially on that day. Sending hugs!

Sofia74, I had 10 weeks of chemo with carboplatin taxol and then 3 weekly brachytherapy treatments. I hope you have a plan in the works with your oncologist. My oncologist was so great. She worked the treatments around my youngest daughter’s wedding, which I will always be grateful about. Everyone in this thread is in my prayers.
