Experience Details
Date Entered at Shared Experience: 05/25/2002
Cancer Type: UTERINE
Diagnosis: Metastatic Endometrial Cancer to the lung.
Chemo Drugs: Taxol, cisplatin, adriamycin..Now megace
Treatment: Had 5 rounds of the chemo drugs till side effects got to bad. Also had about 30 radiation treatments
Quality of Life: Not so great. The adriamycin took a toll on the heart. She had a pace maker put in this week.. still very short winded.But one tough cookie.
Information Gathering: Have researched since my mothers dx date of Sept.2001..Not much luck..It is very rare for endometrial cancer to metastize..Thank God...She originally had cancer in 1995 and her doctor said it was a walk in the park..Never had another thought about it after her hysterotomy. Could never prove it but would bet every thing I owned that her recurrance occured because the same doctor let her take hormone pills after her original treatment.
General Comments: If anyone one has similar dx..Would like to here from you..
