Was your endometrial cancer tested for mutations in the gene POLE?

That's great news that your tumor has a POLE mutation and a high mutation burden. It will be interesting to see what follow-up your doctors decide on. Based on the literature, it seems that there's a low chance that your tumor would recur even if they only observe. What are you hoping for?

Honestly, I don’t know what I am hoping for. I think I might feel more confident if immunotherapy or radiation is offered, but I have to trust my gynecological oncologist. I have received such good care, and am very grateful for Canada’s healthcare system. I am a patient of the Arthur J E Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary.
