My sons’ MIL, 73ish was just diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus), why she went to Dr. have no idea. While finding the uterus cancer they also found a pulmonary embolism. She was hospitalized to treat with blood thinners for embolism. While waiting for blood thinners to work she was x-rayed and they found cancer lesions in her left lung (what a surprise!). They kept her another day, once again no idea why BUT on that day they told her the cancer was now in her lymph nodes! This was around March 17th. They made an appointment for her for cancer treatment consultation for April 4th. Kind of a long wait with what they found but none of her 4 kids questioned ANYTHING! Then they sent her home with her miracle blood thinners. Oh yeah, Va&x@d! And she had a malignant breast tumor 30 yrs. ago! My son is a LPN. Had to get VXD. Convinced his wife, her 3 siblings and MIL to get shot up! Luckily not my 9 & 6 yr old grandkids. This is an absolute travesty but according to my son “just a coincidence”. Glad he became a Nurse and not the Dr. he always wanted to be😵💫

This is exactly what I am seeing in medical records. This same scenario playing out over and over. Sometimes they are diagnosed with two primary cancers at the same time. I never saw that before. Yes, there are lots of people who've had several types of primary cancer over their life but generally not at the very same time.
