Uterine Cancer

My aunt was just dx with uterine cancer.  All the info I have is that they are going to remove the uterus and everything else female there.  What questions should she be asking?  This dx is after my mom, her sister, has been battling lung cancer stage 4 with met to brain and bone.  My mom has been battling since Feb. 2006, so I consider that a great outcome with lung cancer, to date.  As for my aunt, what should she expect?  I don't have much info since she just got the call this morning and she was really upset.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I have found that the National Cancer Institute will provide you with information on Clear Cell Cancer of the Uterus.  They have been great getting me information.  Their website is www.cancer.gov

 Also, the Greenbaum Cancer Center at:
