Are you experiencing blood clots after starting Keytruda and Lenvima?

Passing blood clots after starting immunotherapy can happen, especially when you have recurrence on the vaginal cuff. Vaginal bleeding is a known concern with endometrial cancer, particularly when there's tumor involvement in that area.

Your oncologist's recommendation to monitor the bleeding over the weekend and proceed with radiation makes sense. Radiation therapy can help control bleeding from tumors, including those on the vaginal cuff or bone lesions. The radiation should target the tumor causing the bleeding while also helping with your hip pain from the bone lesion.

Important things to watch for:

* Heavy bleeding that soaks through pads quickly
* Passing large clots (bigger than a quarter)
* Dizziness or feeling faint
* Increased pelvic pain

If any of these occur, contact your oncology team right away rather than waiting until your next appointment. While monitoring over the weekend is reasonable, don't hesitate to reach out if symptoms worsen.

The combination of Keytruda and lenvatinib (Lenvima) is used for advanced endometrial cancer that has spread, so your treatment plan aligns with standard approaches for metastatic disease.
