Suggest Treatment For Uterus Cancer
Mum -66 yrs /60 kilos / asthmatic / suffers from hypertension-suffers from uterus cancer stage 3 she went through treatment with CISPLATINE.She had 5 out of 6 concomitant cures.She also had
25 radiotherapy cures.I just want to ask if she can get cured. Doctor said there is no possibility of surgery now because the tumor reached the pelvis and it is somehow big and got down to her left leg.My second question is how long she will survive approximately? By the way today is the last radiotherapy cure and she no longer has pain just suffering from tiredness, headache and sometimes ache in her belly?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Cancer once confirmed, it is incurable. No drug or surgery or radiotherapy can cure it completely. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can decrease the tumour size and thus reduce the sufferings.
So better to accept the situation and fate regarding uterine cancer.
Since her uterine cancer is inoperable, it has reached to 3b or 4 rth stage.
Five year survival in these stages is very low. Less than 20%.
Life expectancy is less than 1 year. So better to discuss end of life issues with her.
