Hi,
Thank you for letting me join the forum.
I was diagnosed with Endometrial cancer in March 2024.
I have had a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy and am currently on chemo and immunotherapy.
The problem is that I also have a small legion on the lung which was picked up on my scans in March and my Oncologist cannot diagnose whether I have terminal cancer or curative based on not knowing if the lung cancer is a primary or secondary to the endometrial.
I have been told that a biopsy would be too medically challenging due to its position near an artery.
This is messing with my head a bit as there are financial impacts as well as mental ones by not having a prognosis.
Is this a common thing to happen? Is anyone else in this position? How do you cope?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
