Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer

Should I be scared of vaginal radiation after hysterectomy?

I had a hysterectomy on Aug 7.. and got a call from the doctor saying I had a class 3 cancer, no lymph node or spread to ovaries.. confined to uterine walls. But she wants to do 3 radiation therapies to eliminate any cancer cell left at the top of the vagina after uterus, ovaries, cervix and lymph nodes were removed. The cancer is not genetic. I have not seen a report as I am only 2 weeks past my hysterectomy and have not had post op appointment yet... I'm scared to death of any radiation as my 29 year old daughter in law died from radiation for breast cancer. Has anyone had the vaginal radiation treatment ?? And we're there side affects??? Compared to most posts here, my problem is minor... Sorry

What foods help with gastroparesis during ENHERTU chemo?

I'm 76 years old. In 2019, I had a hysterectomy for clear cell endometrial cancer, followed by chemo. Since then, it has metastasized to the paraorta and is now in my lungs. I just received my first chemo for the lungs on July 22nd. I'm getting ENHERTU. Last year, I had to have emergency laparoscopic surgery that left me with gastroparesis. I'm really struggling right now with foods I can eat. Is anyone else receiving the ENHERTU?
