Hi,
I'm new to any kind of outside support group. You're group seems so loving, careing, understanding, supportive & giving. This journey has been so lonely for me.
History & to-date
My mom was diagnosed with endometrial cancer a year and a half ago.
Then did a body scan at that time and saw some spots on her lungs.
They said they were small and probably scar tissue from when she was a kid.
They said she sould just tackle the endriometrial cancer for now.
So she had a full hystorectomy.
They said they think they got everything.
They did not push for chemo at that time just incase.
1 year ago, she developed a large mass in her pelvic area.
It was canerous and she had it removed. They said they could not get it all.
Before the operation they had done another full body scan and it showed numerous tumors in her lungs and that they are inoperable.
Stage IV. Biopsy not possible.
She has since gone through two series of chemo.
I am not sure all the drugs but I know they were the most common protacols.
She just finished her last chemo treatment 3 weeks ago.
She just had a scan because she had some other problems the dr. wanted to look at. After seeing the new scan, today he said
1) she can now do nothing
2) go on Tomoxifen
3) go on Letrozole 2.5 mg tablets once a day to reduce estrogen (she chose this one).
I don't know what this all means. She lives 1800 miles away and she does not ask questions.
Does anyone know if this is a sign of her being near her final days, weeks, months?
I have only found information on Letrozole for Breast Cancer and in its early stages.
I can't find one thing about this and lung cancer.
Anyone, have you been on this or know someone that went on this.
Thank you for listening to me.
Sincerely,
Ann
