Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all. My name is Najib, and I have a sister who is 43 years old. She has completed her chemotherapy treatment (5 doses and 33 radiation sessions). After this, God willed that her blood volume remains at 9 mm. The doctor prescribed follow-up treatment and prescribed Everolimus 10 mg and Letrozole 2.5 mg. Are there any other sisters who have undergone this treatment, and how are they coping with it? Thank you to whoever answers my question.
Hi Najib, I'm Tony, one of the Community Champions, I'm sorry to hear about your Sister, I'm writing to ask what is your Sister's Cancer as it would help us all give you more support and possibly direct you to the correct Forum where others will have experience of her condition(s).
Take care, Tony

Hello Najib
I’m Steph and I’m part of the team who looks after the Online Community here at Macmillan. May I wish you another warm welcome to the Community, although I’m sorry that circumstances bring you here. I hope you find the site to be a safe place of comfort and kindness.
From what you have told us, your sister is receiving treatment for Endometrial (or womb) cancer. We'd encourage you to join the womb cancer forum for ongoing support.
You might also want to join our family and friends forum. It’s a safe space for anyone supporting a loved one with cancer to share experiences and support one another.
It sounds like your sister is receiving treatment overseas. Please remember that the majority of our members are receiving cancer treatment in the UK, which might differ from treatment offered in other countries.
We have a living with cancer outside the UK forum which might also be helpful. Cancer Research UK offer details of overseas organisations, if your sister might want local support.
As you mentioned speaking through a text translator, Macmillan's Cancer Information in different formats might be helpful.
We also have a Macmillan Support Line if you want to talk things through with someone who is there to listen. Our Support Line teams are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00, email or live webchat.If you're calling from outside of the UK you can contact us on +44 207 091 2230. We are unable to advise on healthcare systems overseas. Please note that calls to these numbers are not free when made from phones based outside the UK.
