After having a hysterectomy in January,I was diagnosed with having endometrial cancer grade 2 stage 3. My first visit to the hospital the consultant discussed radiotherapy with me, and said that "chemotherapy had not yet been decided,then another doctor came in and said " because the ovaries have been involved, I would need chemotherapy, and it would be a treatment of 6 over 5 months. Today I went for my 4th treatment of radiotherapy, and had to see the oncologist there for a weekly check (my first) and she asked me if I was having chemotherapy, and I told her that I was, and she then looked again at my notes and said " well it says here its still to be decided." Have any of you here, not had chemo for endometrial cancer ? I am very confused. Please let me know if anyone has had the same experience. I feel so stressed that I don't have an answer from the doctors. With thanks Gaynor. Xx
