Brief Answer:
Most uterine masses are not cancers. Let's wait fir a biopsy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your mother is experiencing and this disturbing finding on CT. Most uterine masses are not cancerous and as such i will suggest that we wait for a biopsy and its results to conclude. Best treatment for any possible cancer is surgery but with weak kidneys and hear, we may be left only with the option of drugs if this were to be confirmed as being cancer. However, am unlikley to see it confirmed as a malignant lesion than a benign as most of them are benign.

I hope this helps. I widh here well. Feel free to ask for more information and cmlarifications if need be.
