Thank you for the info. We made a decision to not go to Mayo. Mom too weary now to travel. It would have been a different story had we caught it earlier-but the Canadian system failed her miserably. We are now “in” the BC Cancer Society system and scheduled for chemo. Advanced endometrial and spread to lungs during 3 month wait. We are told they will attempt to “cancer control” and increasing her comfort level - swelling in uterus from liquid that interferes her with eating or drinking/shortness of breath/fatigue. It’s 2-3 weeks between initial appointment/care strategy to chemo appointment. I will continue posting as a resource for others in Canada should anyone be facing the same struggle. But Yes, wish I had known to take her to Mayo 9 months ago when symptoms began.
