Endometrial cancer has come back and is now in my lungs. Anyone else have this?

Hi I had endometrial cancer 8 years ago + it's  come back + gone into lungs. Lungs ok in themselves but tumour in each lung. Said they couldn't do anything but I'm now having a course of stereotactic radiotherapy.  (Now grade 4.) Anyone else got this?

  • Hello Mrs M I feel for you, I developed secondary endometrial nodules in the lungs 2 years ago which was 2 years after the primary cancer. 8 rounds of chemo removed them apart from a small area of scarring in one lung. Regular CT scans revealed 2 nodules returned in this area in one lung and I'm now on immunotherapy which is keeping them stable (one is reducing slightly in size). Like you I feel well with no lung symptoms and grateful for every day.

    Hope your treatment is going okay and you continue to feel well.

  • Thanks so much for your reply. Been told they can't get rid of the tumours but the radiotherapy may shrink them or slow them down. Finish treatment on 5/4/24 so then 6wks wait for scan to see if worked? I'm also on hormone tabs for now? What is immunotherapy please. Hope you're doing well x

  • Hi Womble5, 

    I had EC 2.5 years ago, stage 2 grade 2. In the checkup scan last week, a 1.8mm nodule was found on my left lung. The doctor scheduled another scan 3 months later. Rather worried that it is the EC coming back to the lung. 

    I hope you are doing well with your current treatment. 

    Best wishes

    Chui
