Has anyone had a recurrance of endometrial cancer to lung?

@gaylepc After 9 years I expect you might have felt cancer would not be in your future. Coughing blood must have been very frightening. Having written that though I know that recurrence or a new cancer lurks in the minds of cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with endometroid adenocarcinoma, FIGO 1, Stage 1a in 2019 and then had a recurrence of endometrial cancer on the vaginal cuff two years later. I received radiation therapy for the recurrence. So, I have not had your experience of lung cancer.
Has your oncologist talked with you a recommendation for treatment plan?

I had endometrial cancer and radical hysterectomy 4 years ago; no radiation or chemo; then last year I had a recurrence in the vaginal cuff; had external radiation and (really tough) brachytherapy. Last treatment July 2023; now it's come back again.!!! Waiting to see what Drs want to do.

We are just getting to that part. There has been so much testing just to figure out what it was. They originally thought it was stabe 1b lung cancer. But, after CT and PET scans, bronchoscopy and CT guided lung biopsy, the cells match my uterine tumor exactly. Lucky that they still had the slide of my uterine tumor for comparison.
I now have a Pulmonologist, a Gyn/Onchologist, a Radiologist/Onchologist and there will likely be one more consuting onchologist. Hoping within two weeks they will be treating it more agressively. Right now I am just on Letrazole to slow or stop estrogen production. Gyn hopes that will begin to shrink the tumor.
