@ljboro48- You certainly need a hug! {{{ }}}. What a conundrum for you, plus a shock that your cancer returned. When my second lung cancer returned after ten years I most certainly was shocked.

Do you know if there were any further testing needed for your lungs or uterus?

When I first had lung cancer 26 years ago, my husband and I had a long talk. The first question that he asked me was, "What was more important to me? Was the number of years I lived or the quality of life?" I did have to think about it because, at the time, I was only 51 years old. But I chose quality of life. And I think that this is something that you need to think about at this point.

What do you think?

@ljboro48, Merry is one of the awesome mentors I mentioned. She is cursed with experience dealing with cancer, but blessed with an abundance of knowledge and compassion. ❤️

Thanks for the hug 🙂 I started coughing blood Aug 5th and went to ER. They did a CT, followed a week or so later by a PET. The PET is where they noticed the uterine problem on top of the lung problems. I had a Bronchoscopy last week and just got the diagnosis. I'll see my oncologist this week and begin to decide course of action. A gynecological oncologist did a biopsy before that and confirmed the uterine cancer.
I definitely am thinking about quality of my final years at this point because I am already so limited to what I can and cannot do physically anymore. If I were still in my 60's even, I would think more about the cures.
