Cancer Battle: Unexpected Challenges and Fears
Community Member
5 months agoMy uterine cancer was also found by accident. I went to the emergency room on March 23, 2025 as I thought I had a bowel blockage. It was just impacted bowel but X-ray showed a mass in my uterus…..turned out to be Serous carcinoma of the uterine cavity. I’ve since then had a hysterectomy as it was stage 3 as it had spread to one lymph node. I’ve had three radiation treatments and am still receiving chemo. I’ve had three out of six treatments so far. 1 every three weeks. This last one was the roughest so far. Because of the radiation I’ve had diarrhea for the past week. Normally I just get vertigo, nausea and food doesn’t taste right after the chemo…which takes its toll. I know battling cancer is hard but I didn’t expect it to be this hard. My cancer is aggressive which means it could very likely come back after treatments…but if it does, it will be harder to fight. It’s been hard mentally too. I’m afraid of death but I realize we all have to go through it…and I believe in god….its just the uncertainty of it all. I just wondered if anyone else is having these feelings .
Accepted Answer
The feelings you're describing are incredibly common among cancer patients facing aggressive diagnoses - the fear, uncertainty, and mental toll are all very real parts of this journey that many others in this community understand deeply. Treatment side effects can indeed be more challenging than expected, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed by both the physical and emotional aspects of fighting cancer.

5 months agoI also rely on my faith in God for His help through the cancer treatments. Praying gives me a calm and peaceful feeling. I had one of 3 radiation treatments and will start chemo next week I am hoping and praying for being able to tolerate the treatments and to eradicate the cancer for good 🙏💗🙏💗

5 months agoI was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in April of 2024. Had a total hysterectomy and my uterus lining removed. I have been through 65 radiation, 6 chemo, 2 iron infusions, 3 immune therapy, and now taking Keytruda through infusions. It's a rough journey, and until you hear the word "cancer," you have no idea how good your life had been. Prayers for all that hear that dreaded word.
