Ten years ago!!!!

There is life after endometrial cancer. Mine came back, twice, but the last round was treated successfully with the immunotherapy drug Keytruda. I ended up with mild rheumatoid arthritis, but my CT scans have been clear for four years.

If you've got questions, or just need to talk to someone who's been there, DM me.
