Hi. I was diagnosed with Womb Cancer back in 2024. I had an operation in December, and started Chemotherapy in February, I had 6 sessions which didn't work. In August I started Immunotherapy but have had constant issues with it since starting. After a treatment it could be 10 days, a week or even 3 days and then i have constant diarrhoea. Has anyone had the same issues. 

  • Hello Morrisey

    Welcome to the Online Community. 

    I am sorry to hear that you had a diagnosis of endometrial cancer in 2024 and that the Chemo did not work as hoped. 

    The online community is divided into different parts and I wonder whether it would be worth having a look at the Womb cancer forum. I will pop a link here that should take you directly there. It often helps to share with people who are having the same cancer experiences.

    Within the Womb group there is a dedicated space for ladies who are having immunotherapy. It may be worth posting there who are having similar side effects. It may help if you are able to share which immunotherapy treatment you are having as different types may have different effects.

    You could also consider giving the Support Line a call and talking to one of the nurses about the diarrhoea. The Support Line is available 7 days a week from 8am-8pm.

    Hope this helps a bit. If there is anything else you need please do ask.
