I really needed to hear this after recent scans showed the chemo did not work for reoccurrence only after 5 months of surgery.

Congratulations on NED with stage 4. I wanted to share my story to give you more encouragement. Back in 2009 I was dx with stage 1b endometrial and 1a ovarian had hysterectomy. Unfortunately in 2016 I had recurrence that was stage 4 ihad 3 large tumors in my abdomen, rectum and sigmoid colon. I had 6 rounds of chemo then found a wonderful gyn oncologist who was willing to do the surgery. I have been in total remission for 9.5 years. I will be on letrozole indefinatly. Small price to pay for remission. Just wanted to share this with you to give you hope for stage 4

What an incredible journey — and two scans showing NED (No Evidence of Disease) is genuinely wonderful news worth celebrating! 🎉

What an incredible journey — and two scans showing NED (No Evidence of Disease) is genuinely wonderful news worth celebrating! 🎉

Stage 4 endometrial cancer that spreads to the bladder is classified as stage 4A, where the cancer has reached nearby pelvic organs. Spread to the abdominal wall would typically indicate stage 4B. Your treatment journey — surgery, chemotherapy, and now maintenance therapy — reflects exactly the kind of combined approach recommended for stage 4 endometrial cancer. Common treatments at this stage include:

- Surgery to remove visible tumor tissue
- Chemotherapy using drugs like carboplatin or paclitaxel
- Immunotherapy such as pembrolizumab (Keytruda) or dostarlimab (Jemperli)
- Targeted therapy or hormone therapy to slow cancer growth
- Maintenance therapy to help keep the cancer from returning Other MyEndometrialCancerTeam members have shared similar experiences navigating advanced endometrial cancer, and many find great comfort connecting with others who truly understand this path. You're definitely not alone in this.
