Hello,
I'm Montréal-based and a bit of an outlier - I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in November 2023. Underwent a robotic total hysterectomy, 6 cycles of CarboTaxol, and 25 sessions of EBRT (5 days x 5 weeks) plus 1 brachytherapy boost to treat Stage 3A1 Grade 2 adenocarcinoma. One of my CT scans showed a multi-nodular thyroid goiter, with a TIRAD5 nodule. Fortunately, that has been benign since we began following it in 2024.
I've been NED since November 2024, and am getting back to racing now that treatment is behind me. I've completed three 5ks post-treatment and am hoping to tackle longer distances again by the spring. The half-marathon is my favorite distance.
These days, I'm figuring out what a Cowden Syndrome diagnosis means - it's a rare inherited condition that raises your risk of several types of cancer, so my journey now has a new chapter.
I saw some recent social media posts that endometrial cancer survivors are welcome, so I thought I'd see if there are others here? I also participate in the OCRA Staying Connected support group for endometrial cancer patients, and am active on cancerconnection.ca
