Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has lump in her uterus. It can be leiomyoma or cancer. Blood test has no relation with this cancer. It is possible that despite of cancer blood test is totally normal. So she should go for ct scan to know exact location and spread. Then she should take treatment accordingly. Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice. With or without chemotherapy depending on stage. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
