Endometrial cancer spread to lymph node

Hi Zebralynn, 

I also was told my P53 was mutant but that it is beneficial to have chemotherapy.  Unfortunately I had a rare reaction to the chemo and was in hospital for two weeks after the first dose.  My consultant decided that I couldn’t take any more chemo.  I also had brachytherapy which was no problem at all.

As far as I am aware there is no way of knowing if the P53 has or has not responded positively to the chemo.  I have an appointment with my consultant 15/01 and hopefully will have more information as to what to expect.  The only thing I am aware of is that I will have regular appointments and an MRI scan at least every year.

 If you have any questions please feel free to ask me and I will try to help.  At the moment I look at it as I don’t have cancer and try to not think about it too much.

Good luck to you and a merry Christmas too.

Yes I was all also just diagnosed with stage 3 endometrial cancer that spread to my lymph node so I will also be getting chemotherapy and radiation in the New Year I'm just trying to think positive about it I know it's really really hard but I want to come to peace about it and try to have a good Christmas. My husband keeps saying one day at a time. That's exactly we hat I'm going to do. I try to keep myself busy so I won't think so much about it  God bless you! Please keep in touch. 

Hi Grandma03

Thank you so much for replying.  I have struggled to find any information on P53 and what I googled indicated it did not respond to chemo or radiotherapy so it is encouraging to hear your story.

My consultant did say that chemo would work with P53 so I shouldn't Google.  I was terribly shocked yesterday when I was told my cancer was stage 3 and in the lymph nodes.  I will hope that the radiotherapy and chemotherapy will work for me.

Hope you have a nice Christmas

Love

Thank you so much for replying.  It is good to talk to someone going through the same thing.  I feel very well in myself so hard to take in I have stage 3 cancer.

It's really good advice to take one day at a time and to keep busy and be positive.

Take care and I would love to stay in touch.

Sounds great! I know it is hard. But I have read where patients with stage 3 have been completely cured! 

Yes I have heard that too and my consultant said she is looking at a cure.  I am so glad you replied to me dont feel so alone.

We will be cured!!!!??

Hi there, I’m going to tag Mrsceedee  as she had chemoradiation back in 2022 and sailed through it. 

Yes we will 

That is so encouraging thank you
