Thank you  

Hi Mogsmum

I am sorry that you are facing this and have had such a rough 6 months. 

We are here when you need us.

So sorry to read this too. 
I’m currently half way through my treatment for recurrent endometrial cancer (serous carcinoma) having had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy last year which was initially successful. I was always told it was aggressive and I knew it was likely to return though recurring after 7 months was a big shock and to signs consent forms for palliative care rather than curative was very frightening.

Mine has returned in the Omentum and they are treating me with Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and the immunotherapy Dostarlimab. My oncologist explained that the treatment is relatively new and came out of research called the Ruby Trial in 2023. I am having 6 cycles of all 3 drugs given every 3 weeks then the Dostarlimab will continue every 6 weeks after that for up to 3 years.

So far I’m coping quite well with the side effects and from what I’ve read this particular regimen has been successful in extending the lives of those of us with advanced disease. 

Please know we are all here for you if you have questions or just want support and a hug 

Thank you, that is the chemo I start on Tuesday, I just feel as though I have been given a life sentence, plus the new pain i have in my side that iam now worring about, the  bleeding is getting me down too, the ongolgy Doctor did say that the bleeding should stop when i start my chemo, what is worrying me is the ongolgy doctor as said its close to my bladder and bowel 

After having the hysterectomy I just had in my head it will be chemo and radiotherapy, I had a hysteroscopy before the hysterectomy which my doctor told me it was endometrial cancer, it wasn't until the biopsy after the hysterectomy I got stage 3 b now because after a scan I have nodules on my lung  and a mass in the virgina its now stage 4 incurable I had a scan 8 weeks ago and all was fine, I had another scan last Thursday the cancer had spread in 8 weeks 

So devastated and broken  

So sorry to hear your news, thinking of you, and wishing you all the best for your treatment starting on Tuesday. Sending hugs xx
