What Happens During Chemotherapy for Uterine Cancer

You usually have chemotherapy as an outpatient. That means you have it at a hospital, at the doctor’s office, or at home. However, depending on the drugs taking and your general health, you may need to stay in the hospital during treatment. You usually get drugs for uterine cancer by an injection.

Chemotherapy is given in cycles. This means that you will be treated for a period of time and then have some time to rest. Chemotherapy can be given on one day, a few days in a row, or continuously for a set amount of time. Your cycle of treatment could repeat every week or every month. The time from one treatment to the next is one cycle. You could have more than one cycle of treatment. Your doctor decides the schedule to follow based on your case.
