Not cancer.
"Early secretory endometrium" just refers to the stage in the menstrual cycle that the endometrium is in.
And endometritis means inflammation of the endometrium. The infiltration by lymphocytes causes the inflammation. They invade to fight off whatever may be in the endometrium that isn’t supposed to be there. Cancer would show invasion of malignant cells, meaning invasion of endometrial cells that are mutated from their normal endometrial cell counterparts. Invasion by lymphocytes is okay, and not cancerous.
As for lukrine, I’m not sure what that is. Are you sure that’s the correct med? There is leuprolide (generic) also known as Lupron (brand name), which is a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist. This acts as a hormone that decreases the amount of estrogen that the ovaries make. This causes the fibroids to shrink. So if this is the med that your mother is on, then it is for fibroids.
Hope that helps.
No, this is not cancer. Don’t worry!
