@ceciliabedogne4 I’m a cancer survivor (endometrioid adenocarcinoma) and I think a diagnosis is very hard on loved ones. My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer one year after my diagnosis and he was very frightened. We live across the country from one another and all I wanted to do was take away his cancer and his emotional pain. Fortunately, his daughter lives near him and there are supportive relatives nearby.

I was very pragmatic after my initial diagnosis and going into surgery (I had a hysterectomy). I had a recurrence two years later and was very frightened. Then once I had a treatment plan (radiation therapy) I felt I could handle it all on my own. My brother was my biggest support and I feel there is nothing like the love between two siblings.

Without more information about your sister’s initial diagnosis - was it endometrial stromal sarcoma - I don’t know what the treatment would be. This is something her cancer care team will advise. Here is something I do know about. Hope. I saw Hope posted in the Radiation Oncology clinic where I received the radiation therapy and it was a little lost on me until I realized in fact I did not helpless or hopeless. I had and still have a wonderful cancer care team and I do have Hope.

Once you find out more information from your sister about the treatment plan will you please let me know?

Cecilia, what did your sister learn about treatment options? How are you doing?
