Hysterectomy Done For Endometrium Cancer. Report Negative For Metastasis, Lymph Nodes. Should I Go For Radiation ?

I had a hysterectomy on 7/29/13 for endometrium cancer, grade 2. The invasion was 6 mm with the thickness of the myometrium of 8 mm, The pathology report was negative for any metastasis and the lymph nodes were all negative. I had a PET/CT Scan on 10/17/13 which was negative for and recurrent or metastatic endometrial carcinoma. I am wondering if I should have radiation to the pelvis as my doctor suggest or not. I am 75 years old, still working and have been healthy until now.

Hi and thanks for the query,
I do not think this a moment you should bother about having radiation for this cancer. I think the negativity of early examinations to check for invasion of other nearby organs, and also early intervention with the surgery is a high guarantee not to bother. I think for now, you just remain watchful, continue doing the regular check ups and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor if you notice any. At this point, I do not think you really need radiation therapy. Kind regards
