What to expect with my mom

My mom has a very rare form of uterine cancer,(so rare I guess, that the doctor here had never seen that type of cancer before) diagnosed by her doctor here in Roseburg. We have an appointment to see a specialist this coming Friday, at which time they will schedule a hysterectomy. At what point do we find out if it's spread outside her uterus? When they do the hysterectomy, will they also be able to clean out the cancer if it's spread? I just don't know what to expect at this point, and I'm scared. ANY help would be appreciated!

Hello! How are you & mom? What did her dr say?

I know how you feel. My mother has the same thing, has fallen deep into a depression and lost weight and dehydrated from that. I have to put her into hospice care tomorrow and if she doesn't build herself up for treatments, the doctor gives her apx 3 months. I'm scared to the point of becoming ill myself. All I can say is hang in there; her doctor said she can still turn around and I hope the same holds true for your mom as well. Have faith and good luck.

i had uterine cancer.they found it because i had stopped having periods and they wanted to put me on that drug that starts with a p.but i insisted they do a dnc and they found out i had cancer and that i had it for a while because it got out of my uterus.after the hystectomy they did 6 weeks of radiation therapy to catch all the cancer that escaped my uterus.during surgery they also took part of my cervix.the surgery wasnt bad they made 4 small incisions.its the radiation treatments and the diarea and the jetting into menopause and the hot flashes.so i hope that this helps my doctor didnt tell me about the loose stools i could have for up to a year afterwards so wasnt trying to scare you but trying to be honest.best of luck and please let me know how you all are doing
