Suggest Treatment For Endometrium Cancer Stage 1B Grade 3
I have endometrium cancer stage 1B grade 3, clear cell with positive washings. I have done TAH-BSO 4 weeks ago. I will be undergoing radiotherapy (EBRT) 5x a week for 5-6 weeks here in Westmead Cancer Care siguro 1st week of January. No need to do Brachytherapy kasi daw di naman bumaba sa cervix. Wala pang Chemo appointment but I was already referred to a chemo doctor. Are these adjuvant treatment the best for my case? The RT doctor said the prognosis are not good but I am just hoping for the best.

Yes the prognosis is not as good as the endometrial adeno carcinoma for the clear cell variant. Positive washings further impact the prognosis . lymphnode status was not mentioned in your query , if positive prognosis further falls down.
Brachy is not useful as your disease is not localised.
The adjuvant radiation and chemo plan is correct.
A postive outlook impacts your quality of life in a good way which you need. Keep hoping for the best and stay positive .
