That sounds really worrying, and it's completely understandable to feel concerned. Experiencing bleeding after brachytherapy treatments is something that needs prompt attention from your cancer care team — please reach out to them as soon as possible.

Vaginal bleeding is a known possible side effect of brachytherapy, but given the complexity of the situation — a high-grade, aggressive type of endometrial cancer combined with hormone therapy — this symptom needs to be evaluated right away rather than waited out. When contacting your care team, it may help to mention:

- When the bleeding started
- How heavy it is (light spotting vs. heavier flow)
- Any other symptoms like pain, discharge, or fever
- Any recent changes to your Provera dosage or schedule

With a P53abn, dMMR, grade 3 diagnosis, your team will want to rule out whether this is a treatment side effect or something that requires a change in your treatment plan. Don't wait on this one — your care team needs to know today.

If I were you I would consult an oncologist before having a biopsy. An oncologist might recommend another option. I don't know that though. I started with a gynecologist who did a biopsy and I wish I hadn't have done that. The biopsy did reveal FiGO grade 2 carcinoma. Referral to oncologist followed. She did a total hysterectomy and found my cancer had spread through out my pelvic area. I will always wonder of the biopsy caused it to spread. I wish now that I would have just had a total hysterectomy to begin with (which I asked for and gyn said that's not the way they do things). It's too bad insurance rules every step we take on this journey. I am now stage 4 and have had my first round of chemo. I will have immunotherapy (keytruda) for the rest of my life. My oncologist tells me that my type of cancer is not curable, but immunotherapy will keep it away. I'll just have to be diligent about it and hope my body does not reject keytruda at some point.
One day at a time, Claire. I wish you well.
