Question re: scalp bumps or folliculitis during chemo.

4. Endometrial adenocarcinoma. It's my second bout

But the drs are not committed to calling it a recurrence since it’s been 15 yrs since the original diagnosis and treatment (surgery only - total abdominal hysterectomy including tubes and ovaries). This was a total surprise. Went in for a CT scan for kidney stones and they found either a 4x3 or a 5x7 cm tumor in the pararectal fat layer. The size depends on what CT scan is read 🙄

I really like my care team, and we all seem to be on the same page, have similar sense of humor, etc. There is one I keep a closer eye on. It’s a teaching hospital and she’s one of the teachers. I’ve had 2 chemo treatments so far (Taxol and Carboplatin regimen). The first one she almost hung someone else’s Taxol infusion as mine. The second one she was going to detach everything and release me before hanging the the last Carboplatin. I’m glad the steroids don’t let me sleep through the treatments!

Your neck sounds painful. Do you have to do radiation as well as chemo?
