I went to the Dr about persistent nausea that I thought was due to a bad gall bladder. The Dr verified that my gall bladder was indeed bad but said that something was telling him to scope me to look for a ulser, this decision saved my life. During the endoscopy they found the early stage tumor and recommended that I go straight to surgery...3 weeks later I did. If I had it to do over again I would have slowed things down and studied my options but in that moment everything was a blur and I trusted the Drs here to my detriment.

I should have made the trip to Mayo for a second opinion and had them handle all surgeries and treatment.

What is it that you rue? How you were staged? Where you had your surgery? The outcome of your surgery? Not getting a second opinion? Not doing any treatments first?

I'm curious since I've talked to hundreds around America and the world about everything EC. And things are done a bit differently in other places... but then again, many things are the same. Hope you are well and coming along.
