Hi, I got my diagnosis on 5th August...womb cancer...that was a shock but also proved I wasn't mad or a hyperchondriac after going to my GP with symptoms since January 2020. From my MRI it was thought to be a 1a so I had my full hysterectomy and hoped that would be it. Last Wednesday I was told it's actually stage 3.
Got my treatment plan yesterday...6 cycles of chemo followed by 25 sessions of beam radiotherapy then internal radiotherapy to top it off.
I'd really like and appreciate hearing from anyone that's had/having a similar experience, and any advice for my first chemo.
Thanks 
Hi and welcome to our corner of the Online Community. Here you'll find a great group of lovely supportive ladies who've all just starting , in the middle of, or at then end of this scary journey. I myself had 3 x Brachytherapy sessions so can't help with the chemo but other ladies here have had the treatment you're down for so hopefully they'll be along soon to chat.
I'm attaching a link to some reading matter Treatment for Womb cancer which you may find useful in the meantime.
