Hi

i’m new on here having recently been diagnosed with recurrent endometrial cancer in left para-aortic lymph node. Can’t be biopsied and they want to start 5 weeks radical radiotherapy with two sessions of chemo cisplatin.  
I’m 6 weeks into in a new job with a tied house and can’t afford to take either the physical hit or the financial hit of starting this treatment 

Anyone else had similar experience who can share how the treatment affects you?  I’m 66 

many thanks

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with recurrent endometrial cancer and it's natural that you'd want to find out how others have got on with the treatment you're about to start.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the womb cancer group which is a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created which will take you directly to the group. You can then start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
