So how is my mother? Well, not too good. She has endometrial cancer. The doctor got some results today and said that it was malignant and was high up which is not like normal endometrial cancer. He said he couldn't tell whether it had spread to the cervix because it was too close to it. He also said it could be in the lymph nodes. So I think we are looking at a stage II or stage III cancer. The doctor couldn't make that determination. That determination would have to be made by a specialist.

In my undoctored opinion right now there is a high probability of a hysterectomy and lymph node sampling with radiation and hormone therapy involved. However, if it has spread to other parts then doing surgery might be futile and radiation/hormone therapy would probably take place more aggressively. That is just what I have picked up on the internet.

When you go to Wikipedia there is a five year survival rate of around 70% for stage 2 and 50% for stage 3. I am glad they make it five years so you think it is going to be ok. The one thing I know is that my mom is tough. I mean she has had diabetes and lupus for a while and she has had many different surgeries over her life. She is a tough lady. Heck, once the cancer is gone she may last another 20 years. Next week is her specialist appointment. Pray that goes well.
