Suggest Treatment For Endometrial Serous Carcinoma III

Hope things are well with you. My Mom was diagnosed with Endometrium Papillary Serous Stage IIIC carcinoma. (This was after she had a total abdominal hysterectomy done a couple days ago)

The pathology report points to TNM stage which says T4b, No, M1.They advice Chemo as an option starting within 2 weeks (6 rounds lasting 6 months) followed by PET scan to see where things are at.

1. We need another opinion as to the diagnosis.
2. What are the treatment options available at this stage in the progression?
3. What is a realistic prognosis

Good morning. Your mom is suffering from carcinoma of endometrium(uterus) which is now metastatic as revealed by your TNM report. she has aslo completed 6 rounds of chemotherapy so its time now to undergo imaging test like PETscan to look for the response of chemotherapy. Since she has an advanced disease (metastatic) she will require some form of treatment for rest of her life. Treatment will be decided after seeing the response on PET scan. Usually 2nd and 3rd line chemotherapy with some other drugs may be given. Average survival in a case of metastatic ca endometrium is around 2 years.
For another opinion on diagnosis you need to verify her tissue biopsy from any other pathology lab.
