Stage 4 endometrial cancer with ascites

Thank you so much for your reply. My sister may be out of options to slow down the growth of cancer. She was dismissed from a clinical trial last week. Tomorrow she is meeting with her original oncologist/gynecologist. She has been having lots of trouble with vomiting. At some point she was told that it’s because the cancer has metastasized to her liver. .. causing Ascities. When she meets with the physician tomorrow, she expects to be advised to enter hospice. Meanwhile, she has been unable to eat any food at all without vomiting. I would really like to help her. She lives in Minneapolis; I live in Florida. The two articles that you gave me a link to were helpful. I spent quite a bit of time doing Google searches before reading the two articles that you gave me a link to. I spent quite a bit of time doing Google searches before I posted here. Thanks again.

@cindysj You are a loving sister to care for and about your sister from such a distance. Are you currently in Minneapolis with her or does she have other family or a spouse to go to her appointments with her?
I’m glad you found us here on Mayo Clinic Connect and we can provide you with support and information. Google searches can be helpful but then again can be frightening and inaccurate. I look for respected and valid sources such as Mayo Clinic, NIH, Cleveland Clinic and others with .org, .gov or .edu (and mostly steer clear of websites that are .com).
Has your sister seen her GYNOncologist yet? If so, what recommendations did they make? And how are you doing today?
I also have ESS endometrial cancer, stage 4. Meta in my lungs. I had the big surgery and then was put on an
aeromatase inhibitor to keep it from growing.
If you want my doctors name I can give it to you thru email.
I am in Austin Texas
Prayers and positive energy to your sister.

@cindysj, being a long-distance caregiver is hard. Your sister is lucky to have you scouring the internet and researching on her behalf. I'm also glad that your Google search brought you to this forum for understanding, support and information.
I hope that your sister's physician consult today gives her some guidance and relief from the discomfort the cancer is causing. Hopefully a diruetic or draining the fluid is an option for her that reduces the ascites and stops the vomiting, even it temporarily.
Do you know if residential hospice is an option for her or will she have providers coming to her at home? And, how are YOU doing?
