Hi everyone,

I was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February 2017. I had a complete hysterecomy on May 5, 2017, and when the pathology report came back, I was told I had not only ovarian cancer, but uterine cancer. My chemo regimen changed (they removed one of the ovarian cancer treatment meds and added another med for the uterine cancer.)

I was told that uterine/ovarian cancer can metastisize to the breast. In fact, it happened to my relative's friend. His wife had a complete hysterecomy and just found out she had breast cancer.

I'm very concerned. What are your thoughts on this subject.

Note: If this subject has been exhausted, please let me know.

Thanks so much!

    I had both

    at the same time, but they were both primary cancers (breast and uterine).  I was told (by gynecologic oncologist) that it is not unusual for a woman to have both breast and uterine cancers over the course of her lifetime - mine were just diagnosed at the same time.  Nothing about metastasis, tho.  I do know that BRCA positive cancers can show up in both breasts and ovaries, but I don't know that they are considered metastases.  Do you have both ovarian and uterine cancers or is one a metastasis of the other?  All important information to ask.   Your gynecologic oncologist should be able to answer your questions.  Mine was always always interested to know about the "other" end.  . . .

    Good luck to you.
