Just wondering how many women with UPSC have had mets to the intestinal tract.
When I was more active on the boards, it seemed that the most likely places for mets were, the liver, the nodes in the neck, the brain, and the breast. I can't remember if there were any colon cancer mets. Anybody know anything about that. And how the heck are you all doing? My best to you, Claudia

Research study on UPSC
I have been continuing to read about uterine papillary serous cancer and found this research study helpful in understanding what my prognosis is based on my stage.

I'm just curious to see if any of you have ever heard it.…
