Newly Diagnosed: FIGO 2 Uterine Cancer: What does this mean?

I'm a few years away from this active surveillance schedule I have after a recurrence in 2021. When I get near to the end of the 5 years of active surveillance without, hopefully, another recurrence or new cancer, I'm going to talk with my cancer care team about still returning on a regular basis for what? Passive surveillance?

Hi. I believe there isn’t much difference between the pre-5 year mark and the after period in terms of the details of the surveillance. I am not a doc but suspect the 5-yr mark is a bit of an arbitrary benchmark. There is more concern around symptoms soon after the treatment protocols are given as it may not be clear whether they have worked or more is needed.
