What Is The Prognosis Of Uterine Cancer With Lung Metastasis?

Hi, my Mom had uterine cancer 2 years ago...she had a hysterectomy..they found it in her lymphnodes...she had chemo and radiation..it came back, more radiation...it has now spread to her lungs and they want to do chemo again...she's also complaining of headaches...could it now be in her brain?....I feel the doctors are not being up front with her because she is not asking the hard questions...I'm sure she is scared...I want to know how long she has to live...I feel that perhaps she should not suffer through chemo again...she is 79 and otherwise very strong and healthy.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your mother has uterine cancer with metastasis in lung. It is already stage 4. Moreover she may also have brain metastatic lesion. So no treatment will cure the disease. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains treatment of choice. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact.
Consult your doctor and plan 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.
