Mildred's surgery showed an aggressive form of uterine cancer with biopsies showing the presence of this cancer in the omentum (intra-abdominal fat storage) and the abdominal surface of the diaphragm (the muscle that moves the lungs up and down). In other words, metastatic disease.
She did well postpartum, and consulted with the oncologist who "explained risks and benefits of treatment, what would the advantages of treatment. I also reiterated that treatment will not be curative and that she probably has to go on and off treatment in the years to come"
