Started treatment of Paclitaxel and carboplatin (PC, CarboTaxol) today and having in 3 weekly periods to treat stage 3 endometrial cancer.

What are the chances of remission? Is there hope?

  • I have the same thing , I had a hysterectomy and am now 5th session of chemo … my last scans were good Sparkling heart

  • Your cancer may have already all been removed during surgery.  No way to really know for sure. 

    Im stage 3 as well and will be doing chemo cocktail plus immunotherapy for 2 yrs following as maintenance.  I was told these treatments were to kill off any cancer cells that may have been missed during surgery.  

    Recurrence rate is higher as well for Stage 3 it's around 45% I was told after treatments recurrence rates should drop to around 10%.  They have me down as curative versus palliative treatments. 

    Good luck on your treatments I will be starting mine in a couple weeks.  Not looking forward to it at all but I want to do everything (such as we all) I can do to keep the beast from returning.
