I had 25 outer treatments and 3 brachytherapy. I have had multiple pelvic fractures and back pain. I finished the radiation July 2022.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
Radiation therapy can be used to treat women who have endometrial cancer that has spread beyond the uterus and those who are at risk of a recurrence. Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy beams or materials to destroy cancer cells.
Have you received pelvic radiation to treat endometrial cancer? Was it successful? What was your experience like? How many sessions did you need? What were your side effects?
I'll tag a few members who may have had this type of treatment to get the conversation started.
