yes it was discussed and she was told that
it was just a palliative measure and she
chose to not have it as she is symptom
free...no pain...wants to enjoy whats left
somewhat healthy instead of the side
effects of chemo

If left untreated and allowed to progress,
uterine cancer can spread via the
bloodstream, which may result in the
spread of cancer to the lungs, liver,
bone, and brain.
Where has the cancer spread?
