I was just diagnosed with uterine cancer and am due to start double chemo. Has anyone been through these treatments or is currently getting them?

Starting chemotherapy can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to want to hear from others who have walked this path. Many community members have shared helpful tips about managing treatment days, staying comfortable, and what to expect - browsing through previous posts or connecting with others here who have similar experiences could provide valuable insights and reassurance during this time.

I had a complete hysterectomy and was supposed to have 6 chemotherapy treatments. But the pain was excruciating in my nerve endings (I have fibromyalgia), and the doctors stopped it after one treatment. I then had 25 external radiation treatments and 3 brachytherapy treatments. I had stage 1, 3b diagnosis, with p53 abnormalities. The surgeon found no metastasis afterwards, so the treatments were preventative. Just finished the last radiation; trying to get my stamina back, calm my abdominal distress, and keep my vagina patent due to scar tissue. It has been a long, long road; it is for all of us… Keep praying, and surround yourself with love and support. God speed… 🙏

I was diagnosed with Stage III, Grade B Endometrial cancer in August 2024. I had a complete hysterectomy, then six chemotherapy treatments with Taxol, Carboplatin and Keytruda. Those treatments were finished in February and now I am on Keytruda only until February 2026. I have had three clear scans so far and am lucky enough to have tolerated treatment well.

Hello I had 6 chemo treatments with added Keytruda from July 2025 to November 2025 Before chemo I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometrial Cancer that had already spread into my abdomen. Couldn't do the hysterectomy because it had spread. On December 11, 2025 got the results of my PET scan it showed no more cancer. So the treatment did work and my hysterectomy is scheduled for February 2026. So stay positive. It wasn't easy but I am feeling strong and more positive now
