What is the treatment for endometrial cancer?
Patient: Hi, I had endometrial cancer. A high grade endometroid adenocarcinoma with squamous differerentiation. I had surgery - removal of my uterous, fallopian tubes, ovaries, some lymph nodes, and part of my ometum. I had superficial myometrial invasion as well as cervical stromal invasion- invasion of cervical connective tissue. The maximum invasion was less than a millimeter. My lymph nodes, ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneal fluid and omentum were negative for malignancy. I have had a cat scan and mriabout 6-7weeks after surgery which also was clear. I am very reluctant to do chemo (1st try had a reaction right away) and radiation due to the severe side effects. I have completely changed my diet, I am slightly overweight and losing weight now though as I am eating mostly vegetables. I am eating very healthy and am reasonably active. I feel really good - infact better than I have in a few years. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had endometriod carcinoma with squamous differentiation.  You also had invasion in myometrium and cervix.  Treatment of choice is surgery followed by chemotherapy.  You have hone through surgery.  Now you should take chemotherapy. Take proper nutritional diet and healthy diet. Youshould also go for ultrasound abdomen every 3 to 6 months to detect early recurrence or spread. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
