How did your first radiation treatment go?

this morning was first radiation treatment - went well. It took about 1/2 hour start to finish, took 10 min or so to get me lined up and probably 10 more for the treatment. You just lie there and the machine moves all around you. 1 down 24 more to go.

Glad to hear it went well. My next move will be a hysterectomy and a hernia repair. Stay strong.

good luck, my hysterectomy was in January (on my birthday!) and everything went smoothly. Just don't overdue.

It sounds like the treatment went smoothly and the staff helped you get positioned properly. Many people find it reassuring to know what to expect with the process, and it's helpful that you shared how the timing worked out. Wishing you continued smooth treatments as you work through the remaining sessions.

Diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer Stage 1....Hysterectomy in October2025, Chemotherapy February 2026 last treatment June 12th 2026. According to my Oncologist I went through Chemotherapy good...no throwing up or nausea, had appetite didn't lose weight or gain, bloodwork good no neuropathy. I spoke with a nutrition every month and there was fatigue(but sometime I willed myself and sometimes veg out) I had to put off a knee replacement but was still able to get my knee injection good for 3 months. Now my downside lost hair cool with that I had locks...my boyfriend shaved my head said I looked cool and I too thought so....no wig but I sometimes wrap my head or wore a baseball cap and straw hat (summer time) Lost brows/eyelashes other body hair....cool with that. But the last infusion had neuropathy and fatigue longer . I see a GYN Oncologist 5/7 internal exam went good...CT Scan good Dr wanted to hold off on radiation but go for consultation. I feel Blessed it is still a journey a head.

today was radiation #4 plus I got my first Keytruda maintenance infusion. Long day but I came home, took a short nap and woke up ready to go. Not gonna do much, just pick up and straighten up but you gotta take the energy when you can! I will be glad when the neuropathy goes away, it's just irritating!

I honestly believe staying positive is what has helped me get thru this, sure I had a few bumps 3 trips to ER and bodily function issues but all in all I think it helped.

I had a right nephrectomy in August 2024 for a stage 1 tumor. Thought I was in the clear, then I had to have a total hysterectomy Feb 2026 for endometrial cancer stage 1. Taking one day at a time now. It has been 5 months and my fingers are crossed.

Christine, this is a journey none of us asked for but it's true, this is a one step at a time type of journey. Hang in there and remember this is a great place to come, whether it's to cry, ask questions, whatever, this is a safe place. Good luck!

I will be finishing my fifth week of radiation.This coming week, I'm so excited.The first 3 weeks went extremely well, but last week which was my fourth week I had a lot of diarrhea first thing in the morning and felt lightheaded. I've changed my appointments to late in the afternoon, we'll see how that goes. I've been really dehydrated so been drinking a lot of coconut water which is high in electrolytes. I don't like gatorade. I completed chemo the first week of June the doctor thought I should have a break before starting radiation. I've been praying regularly throughout this whole journey, I believe in 🙏🏾 prayer.
