Hi TonyaSue,
You are WAY too young for all of this. So sorry. I have stage IV endometrial cancer and just had my last chemo session today. Hooray!! I am also weighing the idea of radiation. Will have 3 more CT scans in a week or so and then meet with Oncologist to discuss radiation. He's going to have to work hard to convince me. I'd like to have an option in reserve, especially if nothing shows up on the CT scans. I'll let you know what I decide. Best of luck to you.

Hi neighbor! I live in NW Columbus. Welcome to What Next. There are lots of great people here. I was diagnosed w/stage IV endometrial cancer back in July 2012. Still ticking. Are you treating through the James? I went through Riverside.

Welcome TonyaSue. I was stage three and had a radical robotic hysterectomy last May 1. Since they found it had spread to two of seventeen nodes taken I was scheduled for six treatments of carbo/taxol. I was only able to tolerate four before the nerve pain became unbearable. I had to use a wheelchair for six weeks. I was so afraid I would not be able to walk again . My hands have all but resolved with occasional nerve pain but my feet not so much. The pain lessened but the numbness is severe. I do use a cane when I leave the house. I start acupuncture the end of the month. Since I was not able to complete chemo I did 25 rounds of external pelvic radiation. While it was not a walk in the park, it was nothing compared to chemo. I still suffer with extreme fatigue but am now taking private Pilates sessions to rebuild my strength. I spent most of four months in bed during chemo. Please know we are all different. I would never wish my experience on anyone. But almost five months from my last radiation, I do feel hopeful I might have a new normal life. I hope to return to work part time on June 2. Basically, 13 months from my surgery. I am severely anemic and most do weekly blood tests to monitor my anemia. With all of this behind me now, I can proudly say lived through it. However, there were days when I would not have made it without my friends and supports on this site. Our bodies never cease to amaze me. I was at deaths door and here I am today. Sending you warm hugs and wishes for nothing but smooth sailing.
