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?

Well I read about something of injecting micro-balls into the uterus causeing a blockage to the blood supply of the tumor...Maybe that can help?
