If someone has endometrial cancer and the surgeon says the cancer penetrated the muscle, how bad is that?The doctor said they removed lymph nodes when they did a hysterectomy to bisopsy. But he also said cancer had penetrated the muscle wall. I am wondering what does that mean. I am thinking it means it spread but I dont know how bad.
Answer by monkey91581
you should have asked your doctor that. i don't really know- but something that spreads to the muscle wall don't sound very promising to me.

It depends on what muscle wall he is referring to and if the lymph nodes were positive. If you do not understand what your doctor tells you, you need to question him or her further. Uterine cancers are staged on a FIGO staging system.

It's spread, which means it's spreadING, which is awful -it'll be hard to kill it all. Luckily, there's this:
CANCER: There's a new Swedish study which shows that human breast milk kills cancer. On the news this guy who drank human breast milk (with a prescription) beat cancer. It was discovered by Swedish scientists that human breast milk (spilled into a petri dish) kills cancer. People who drink it have had some success in fighting off cancer.
You need a prescription and it's about $ 3 an ounce at a breast milk bank, but it works.
