Hi I am just looking for information from anyone who may have been through a similar situation of myself, my mum recently passed away very unexpectedly she was a healthy active 64 year old, she had been not completely her self for a few weeks had mentioned having ingestion at night that woke her up/breathless and not great appetite then she suffered constipation and was getting pains in stomach she went to the doctor on a Wednesday who sent her for a scan that came back clear the next day she started getting sick and got weaker by Sunday she was taken to A&E her kidneys had started to shut down and they found a mass in her abdomen they brought her to intensive care they put her on Dialysis but it didn't work in the end, they told us they thought she had a aggressive form of cancer couldn't do all the tests at this point as she was so weak, one week later she died(before lab results came back).
I have now received post mortem results back and it was metastatic small cell carcinoma of the endometrium, she was diagnosed with diabetes less than 3 months before her death and on the death certificate is listed as contributing but not related to the disease.
I am absolutely devastated I can't believe how quickly it happened so out of the blue I am still in shock, I still have to meet the doctor to discuss the results more but I am just looking for any information on this type of cancer and how quickly it spreads. Thank you in advance
