Radiation or not after surgery for endometrial cancer?

I had endometrial cancer diagnosed after having a biopsy last May 23. I saw a gynecological oncology surgeon that did a complete robotic hysterectomy with sentinel node biopsies that came back negative. I have had two exams since by him and he is pretty confident it won't come back. He did not recommend any other intervention. I am in Colorado. Everything was done at Rose Medical in Denver.

Hi. Very much hoping you won’t have a reoccurrence. What kind of regular follow up are you having? Best to be aware of anything that might be off and have it checked out. Take care and best of luck.

@jomamapb May I ask about your exams post-hysterectomy? Do these include pelvic exams with a speculum with a light into the vagina so he can get a good luck at your vagina and vaginal cuff? I ask this because I have learned here from other members that some doctors do not do this. My nurse practitioner at Mayo Clinic does a pelvic exam including a vaginal exam with speculum. That is how she found a recurrence I experienced two years after my hysterectomy. I had no symptoms at the time so I'm thankful that she is so thorough.

I hope that you will have no recurrence and that your exams continue to give you the all clear. When is your next exam?
