What are my treatment options for stage 3a endometrial cancer?

Welcome to the community! Treatment decisions for stage 3a endometrial cancer can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to have questions about the best path forward. Many community members have shared that discussing their specific situation thoroughly with their oncology team, including asking about the reasoning behind recommended treatments and potential alternatives, helped them feel more confident in their decision-making process.

Hi Katina! How’s are you? I had total hysterectomy too in October 2025. Mine is stage 2c . I didn’t do radiation because I am also undecided. Next month is my 2nd follow up visit with my gyn-onco. I’m curious how that will go. You are not alone. For now I try to eat healthy lots of fruits and vegetables. I try to get enough sleep though I can’t get myself to sleep for more than 6hours. I am active physically walking a lot. I pray and try not to think too much. I pray that we can overcome this. God bless!

All I can say from my experience is they cancer was contained within the uterus. Total historectomy to make sure it had no place to spread later. I could have had some radiation within the cavity after but my surgeon said he wouldn't recommend it because it then causes other issues. I went with his recommendation. I will have check ips for 5 yrs. I'm of course hoping cancer dosent pop up again. One never knows 100%

Chemo is my vote

Hello ladies update my doctor feels I should do chemo "just in case" tiny piece of cancer cell seep out and be sitting somewhere to pop out i should do chemo. No spreading anywhere else 6 sessions every 3 weeks I ask why not 4 sessions y 6 🫤

Radiation can cause collateral damage to the bladder and nearby organs. Chemo does not get everything. Even after some stem cells are still there. I had 6 sessions of chemo for stage 4 endometrial cancer with a grade three tumor in order to debulk the tumor so I could have surgery. Thanks to God the tumor and lung mets are completely gone. No surgery. I have done a radical lifestyle change with diet, exercise, and alternative therapies with integrative oncology to make by body uninhabitable for cancer to grow again.

I had 5 doses of chemo. Figured I was good as did doc until two years later a recurrence. It is diff for everyone

I'm out four years and clear cancer free again. Understanding it's for now and enjoy life. But keep monitoring
