My mum has “ the above “ .
this is her second tumour.
10 years ago she had her first cancer . It was in her womb .
she’s had a complete hysterectomy ( inc lymph nodes, ovaries, fallopian tubes). It was stage 1a , grade 3 .
she’s recently been diagnosed with 1 tumour of metastatic endometrial clear cell carcinoma but it’s in her lower bowel ( distal sigmoid ) which is the same cell as her previous womb cancer .
I have contacted her Mc Milan nurse.
mum has had an MRI AND PET SCAN.
I’m not satisfied I ( plus both my parents) are concerned they aren’t being completely honest.
I asked what stage is this cancer at
they state “ we don’t stage or grade cancers now “
they are saying it’s the same stage/grade as 10 years ago .
her oncologist said they could do open surgery, remove the affected bowel and she’d have a stoma bag .
now they say she’s having keyhole. Plus stoma bag . And saying my mum must’ve Miss heard him before.
They diagnosed in may 2023
no surgery until 20 th October 2023 !
bowel surgeon hasn’t been in touch.
mums had ct scan yesterday. She was meant to have a MRI but they refused ( as she had stitches in her eye lid ).
eye dept not taking stitches out until 22nd sept!
oncologist said “ well we’ve got until 20th oct to get the MRI !
my mums having more pain all over her abdomen and slight blood loss from her bowels ( which they are aware of).
to me they’re messing her around and I feel there’s more to this than they’re telling us
