What were your first signs of endometrial cancer?

2017, so its been 8 years now. The insurance I have through my employer is no longer covering the ongoing yearly testing the oncologist has recommended, so going forward it will be a tough decision to be re-tested yearly. It is unfortunate we have to make decisions like this, particularly when one works for a top medical facility in the world, one would think it should/could be covered as preventative care.

Did you have a hysterectomy? What is the ongoing yearly testing the oncologist recommended?

If the insurance is no longer covering it, tell your Dr about your symptom of fullness in abdomen. Post OvCa patients with fullness in abdomen should always have labs (including CA125) and abdominal imaging. Take care of yourself, do not depend on insurance companies to look out for you.
Only yearly testing is minimal at best.
