Endometrial Cancer

My wife was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer in 2017. We were told it had been found early and she was given a hysterectomy.

We were told there was no need for any follow up chemotherapy but that they would monitor her. This involved a phone call every 

six months but no further scans or checks.

In March of this year my wife started experiencing stomach pains, the GP thought it was constipation and prescribed laxatives.

In late July as this pain continued we contacted the Gynaecology Oncology that we dealt with before. They carried out an internal exam

of the vagina but found nothing but decided to send my wife for a scan to check.

The scan revealed a mass attached to the colon and bladder. As the wheels grind very slowly in the NHS we were referred for a colonoscopy

which found that the colon was partly blocked at the sigmoid. Samples were taken and they were very surprised that it came back as the same

Endometrial Cancer as before. 

The initial plan was to operate and cut above the blockage and insert an external stoma, then use chemotherapy to shrink the mass.

They then changed this to inserting a stent and chemo. They inserted the stent but decided my wife's underlying conditions precluded full

chemo. Then they downrated it again to hormone therapy.

My wife has just spent a week in hospital because of a bad infection which the GP had prescribed antibiotics which had no effect. The hospital

then prescribed further antibiotics as an outpatient which also had no effect. She was then rushed in by ambulance with a temperature of 104.

Her time in hospital was not good as under Covid rules I could not visit and I had conversations with nurses and doctors every day over her 

treatment.

Oncology has informed me this week that there is little they can do for her and indicate she has maybe 4-6 months. 

I wonder if there is anything that can be done to support her now she is home.
