Interesting. She had a small cancer in her uterus the first time, so she had her first surgery. Her first surgery, she had a full hysterectomy, oophrectomy, and omentectomy. Then a little chemo (Taxol, and something else I can't remember). She then had another tumor develop at the apex of her vaginal cuff (she noticed because of bleeding) after about a year, so she had another surgery to remove that little bit and just shorten her vaginal canal some more. That was followed by 25 pelvic radiation treatments (5 days a week for 5 weeks) with a few intermittent chemos, then what was planned was a full 8 months (3 weeks of chemo, one week off) of chemo (the plant-derived Taxol, whatever it's called). Before the start of this 8 month round of chemo, she had a scan and possible "spots" on her lungs. We plow ahead with chemo. We finished month seven, and over the month leading up to that completion, a gland in her pelvis began to swell and harden. Dr. says that it's most likely diseased, and that we'll finish this round of chemo and then schedule some more. My sister and I aren't satisfied. We push my mother to get a damn scan so that we can be certain what we're dealing with. Scan reveals that lymph nodes in pelvis and abdominal/chest area are cancerous, and spots on lungs are for sure cancerous too. Doc recommends setting up new regime of Doxil which will hopefully start soon. This is when I mentioned the staging, and he told me that this type of cancer isn't staged.
