Probably a dumb question, but......

in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1
Ok, I have UPSC(1a,c). I was told I have a good chance to not reoccur and if it has been five years I am considered "cured". I was also told that if I do reoccur it will be considered "incurable" just treatable. Is this correct? Aren't there too many variables, such as where, how much,personal condition,ect? Best, debrajo

    NO dumb questions
    It's my understanding that no matter what stage, UPSC can still metastasize and be nasty. Grade 3 cancers are aggressive. UPSC is also highly recurrent.

    However the LONGER a person goes without a recurrence, the better the prognosis. The fact that you have gone several years without a recurrence bodes VERY good for you.

    Cancer is a crap shoot - lots of variables as you mentioned. The mind (stress and thinking) plays a part too.
