Hi there RoseLily123 and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear you had a hysterectomy to remove an early stage endometrial cancer a couple of years ago and the symptoms you are experiencing.

Unfortunately no one here will be able to say what the abnormality on the lung may be or if it is related to the cancer you were treated for, although I think this would be incredibly rare. I appreciate how worrying this must be for you but it is likely that more tests need to be carried out before the doctors can tell you anymore.

Anything we have to say would only be a guess and it is the facts that you need about what is or isn't going on with you. Please try not to over think things until you are given the information by the professionals involved in your care who have access to your medical records and test reports.

Generally speaking if and when endometrial cancer spreads to the lungs ( which as I say in early stage disease is rare) these will be regarded as distant metastases which would normally mean a later stage cancer, although the size and extent of cancer spread and general health of patients can affect what treatments are possible and the overall outcome. It is also possible to get more than one primary cancer but there could be other reasons for abnormal areas to show up on the lungs that aren't cancer, which is why you need to wait and see what the doctors have to say. 

Do speak with your doctor when you can, to get their thoughts about this, and what needs to happen next. Hopefully they may be able to reassure you and put your mind at ease.

I am sorry we cannot be of more help at this time but please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes

Naomi

i have recieved a call from the gp receptionist saying i am not forgotten but the MDT are looking at my ribs now! Blimey 

I sometimes think that people who should be careful what they say speak without thinking and with no knowledge and don’t realise that we, at the other end are in a state of second guessing everything. 
I would try to think of it as that the doctors are being thorough and leaving nothing to chance. Just because they are looking doesn’t mean there’s a problem. I have been the victim of non professionals dropping things into a conversation that had no bearing on the outcome of my diagnosis. It just caused me more anxiety.

Hello and thank you for getting back to us.

Your case is being discussed at an MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) meeting.  This is done so that a group of specialist doctors will look at your scan to see what it could be and to decide if you need to have further investigation.  

Hopefully, someone from your hospital team will then contact you about this, so I hope you hear from them soon.

Take care,

Caroline
