Thanks for your response Colleen! I am now just over 4 weeks out, and have my post op, “cuff check”(!!), on 10/10, second opinion with Emory on the 8th. I have only seen my surgeon once since the surgery, and that was before the tumor conference met. I did speak with his PA that Friday, and she basically said that they discussed treating me with Letrizole, and apparently visits every 3 months for at least 2 years with an exam and blood work. Depending on those results and symptoms, a CT. I have a lot of questions and no, I don’t feel as if I have any support from anywhere other than blogs such as this. I am being followed by the high risk breast care center at the same hospital, Northside, and go tomorrow for a diagnostic mammogram and a bone density test, but they are not involved with the ovarian diagnosis. It is somewhat baffling that you’re given a diagnosis that is lifelong as I do have MRD in the abdomen and pelvis..that there is not more of an outreach or support of really any kind~my cytology came back c/w malignancy, and confirmed a serous neoplasm..the path is stg 3a Serous BOT with micro invasion..not sure when that bleeds into LGSOC..path wise.. anyways, will try to get a virtual with mayo, still working as an Orthopedic PA and am 1099, so no benefits or PTO unfortunately ~
