I'm 64 and had a total hysterectomy in the summer, for endometrial cancer; stage 3 grade 2. 2 Lymph nodes were infiltrated.
I have one more chemo cycle to have, in about 10 days time. I've already had the CT rescan, and the chemo nurses have told me my 'numbers' have fallen after each cycle, which is apparently a good thing. I see the oncologist a fortnight later, to discuss what happens next. I was only able to have one chemo drug, as it turned out I was horribly allergic to Paclitaxel, and even so, I found chemo much harder than I (naively) expected it to be.
I've already been told they want me to have brachytherapy, and I'm not keen to have it, for both personal and practical reasons. I feel there is going to be a lot of pressure to change my mind, but it has been made up for quite some time. I just wonder if anyone has experience of refusing this treatment, and whether there are any less invasive alternatives to it?
