Has anyone had a recurrance of endometrial cancer to lung?

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.

@gaylepc I know you are frightened and angry as I would be. I hope that with the collaboration of your cancer care team that you have Hope (optimism with a plan). You are doing everything possible with all the testing, your team and eventually your treatment plan to knock this tumor down and out.

My husband is a pathologist (retired) and I'm going to ask him what the standard is for keeping slides. It shows excellent care that your medical center kept, stored, and accessed your slides for comparison.

When are your next series of appointments?
