Womb cancer metastasised to lung

This has happened to a friend. What’s the prognosis?

  • Hello Vilia and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your friend. It is difficult to be too specific as we are not involved in your friend's care and don't have all her medical details. A lot will depend on whether she is able to have any treatment for her cancer and also her general health.

    If she is able to have some treatment the doctors will need to see how well she responds to any treatment that she is given.

    Everyone is so different so it is difficult to compare one person with another.

    We have some general information about womb cancer survival which you might find helpful to look at.

    Your friend's doctors are the best people to advise about this as they are involved in her care.

    I hope this helps and that your friend is getting plenty of support.

    You are welcome to ring and chat through any of this with one of the nurses on the helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best,

    Catherine

  • Thanks Catherine. She had the cancer four years ago and they clearly thought they’d got it all until now. She’s starting chemo next week
