Hello Dr. Grief: I am grieving: Are there survivors of Metastatic Disease? My uterine cancer (large tumor & reported contained to the uterus with negative pathology in all other female organs), robotic hysterectomy 7-2012, has metastasized to my R. tibia bone below the patella to mid tibia bone as revealed by MRI of knee (using a knee only MRI machine). The uterine cancer on the tibia was confirmed by bone biopsy. A Nuclear Medicine Bone Scan revealed no other skeletal tumors. During prior four months knee swelling and extreme pain, knee/shin x-rays diagnosis: arthritis of knee. Physical Therapy & acupuncture treatments showed downhill convalescence for medial and medial distal knee pain & developing shin pain. After two X-rays of R. knee and shin, I received above MRI end of this March: revealed healthy femur and very diseased tibia w large strawberry and small grape size tumors. The goal is to reduce the excruciating pain to ‘function’ for the R. leg and foot. The first step? 5 ‘conformal radiation’ treatments; two weeks to wait for improvement. Then??? I am told this is a fast growing non-curable disease, maybe 11 to 12 months and if had to assign: Stage 4. (by Hematology Oncologist) Also told less than 1% of women develop this post-hysterectomy cancer. Do you know someone who has outlived this conflict and what was done besides above and cancer diet with supplements? This added conflict in late March into an extremely complicated senior life is short-cutting any dedicated self-healing time.
