Vaginal Vault Brachytherapy for Endometrial Cancer, my 2nd of 3 doses delayed because of covid. Any Medical studies about delaying treatment?

Hi I'm not aware of any studies, not sure where you'd find them. I do know some hospitals do the sessions weekly whereas  mine were done on Thursday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Have a chat with your CNS or Oncologist to find out more.

What stage/grade where you after histology and did you have any lymph node or LVSI scores?

Stage 1B Grade 2. Lymph Nodes were all negative which means no spread. Also no vascular spread occurred.

Hi  , Good there was no Lymph Nodes and LVSI, that usually seems to require Chemo/radiotherapy.

In my own case I was Stage 1B, grade 3 serous. I was O= Lymph nodes and no LVSI. They did find some malignant cells in my Peritoneal wash. I had 3 sessions of Brachytherapy given over a week. I'd had 4 quarterly face to face (face to fanny LOL) check-up and was told I was clear of recurrence. 

I don't want to frighten you but based on my own experiences I'd have a chat with your Oncologist as you're grade 2 to ask about the possibility of further adjuvant treatments. I was led by my Oncologist and went for the optional Brachy. With the benefit of hindsight ,I now wish a year down the line, I'd requested chemo at the time but was delighted when I didn't seem to need it.

I'd I noticed in late July/August a shortness of breath and pains in my abdomen, my team discounted it as not being "womb related" A CT scan ordered by my GP has revealed I've lesions on my liver and spleen and 3 masses in my abdomen. 

Just had second chemo cycle and fingers crossed all well but I won't know how the tumours have reacted until after cycle 3 when I'll have a CT scan.
