Uterine leiomyosarcoma with lung metastasis: Treatment options?

Posted by westerncanuck @westerncanuck, Oct 23, 2024

Dec 2023 10cm fibroid that by March 2024 resulted in full hysterectomy and uterine leiomyosarcoma diagnosis. May x-ray clear however new Oct CT 5months shows 35 lung lesions. Some 1x2 cm. Bloodwork normal. Lung function exactly the same. I feel fine -but apparently I'm not. Is anyone familiar with leiomyosarcoma metastasizing to the lungs ? Has it been that fast? What options are available ? Is there any new research that is promising ? Why do I feel fine ? What else can I do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Sarcoma Support Group.

@ctflyr, I can imagine that waiting for the bronchosocpy is hard. As you likely know, lung nodules are common and can be benign. I hope that will be the case for your wife.

How is your wife feeling these days? How are YOU doing?

Hello Colleen...
Thanks for you're thoughtful words of encouragement. We're living each day in positivity and appreciating the good that we're blessed with. Right now, we're hopeful for good outcomes, as we have been these last 2 years. Fortunately, my Wife is feeling fine in spite of the rollercoaster we're on.

?s for you: are you using a surveillance schedule of a CT scan every 90 days.
Have you been going to a sarcoma center for treatment? Have you been meeting regular with your oncologist.

I also have LMS. My hysterectomy had been 20 years ago. I also had lots of fibroids prior to hysterectomy. I wonder if my LMS is from a parasitic fibroid that escaped the hysterectomy. My first scan was all clear... Next one is in March.

They gave her 3 different blood thinners and say she's still clotting and surgery is not an option.
