Well, I had my first meeting with the oncologist last week which was both a consultation and an exam. She then recommended a total hysterectomy done robotically, with one caveat. Because I have a giant hiatal hernia, she needs to see a CT Scan of the abdomen, so that was ordered and done today. At the same time, she scheduled the hysterectomy for Dec 30th. She seemed optimistic about the cancer being contained in the uterus lining, but could not be certain until after the hysterectomy. I will not have the analysis of the CT Scan for 3-5 days, but perhaps the oncologist will get it earlier than that and I'll know soon whether there are any changes in the course of action.
Meanwhile, I did get back the results of my genetic testing that the gynecologist ordered back in November. It was good news, I think, in that it summarizes as "Your genetic result was NEGATIVE"; This means that no clinically significant mutations were found in any of the genes analyzed as part of your testing. -- Frankly, this was a pleasant surprise, since there is deep history of cancers - breast, pancreatic, colon -- in my family.
So, now we wait and wait some more. There always seems to be one more hurdle to get over!
