What were your first signs of endometrial cancer?

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.

Been telling the provider that since about 5 years ago, however, the same tests are being repeated. As mentioned in another reply, prior to the surgery in 2017, the CT evaluation was that the area in question was only scar tissue from the surgery in 2008, but because the CA125 was elevated they sent me for the ultrasound, the MRI, the vag. ultrasound and then decided to do surgery because of the blocked ureter. Otherwise, they likely wouldn't have found the cancer in 2017 had there been no concern for the kidney flow. What good was the CT then?
