There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves.

Hi Janelle. Welcome to What Next. There are lots of great people here. If you have any questions, please use the question tab above -- that way the network will have access & you'll get a quicker response. I'm glad you found us but sorry for the circumstances that led you here. Wishing you all the best!

There is no reason to have external with Stage 1. Brachytherapy is very easy to do the only side effect is vaginal dryness, atrophy but this is nothing compare to external complications. Once you do external you can not have it again. So if you have no signs of cancer in your abdomen do not use external save that weapon just in case it is needed later.God be with you.

Hello janelle, I had endometrial cancer, stage IIIC, in 2011. I had surgery, chemo, and radiation. I'm not sure what is different with what you have. I think if it is in the omentum, they have to remove that surgically. That probably means open surgery, instead of robotic, so maybe longer recovery time. I would think if it's that advanced, you might get chemo and radiation. I won't say either is easy, but doable. Just have a supportive person available to encourage you when you want to quit treatment, because I wanted to quit many times. Best of luck to you.
