I had to change gyn oncologist. I had recurrent metastatic endometrial cancer that had spread to pelvic area,sigmoid colon,rectum and omentum. I was told surgery was not an option. So started 6 rounds of chemo no change. It only kept it stable. Still surgery was not an option. Dr said I would have to stay on chemo from then on. The reason I had to change was because my insurance stopped using that teaching hospital or I probably wouldn't have changed I felt I was getting good care But cancer had spread to much.
My insurance helped me find a gyn oncologist about 2 hours from here, he was an amazing surgeon and was willing to do surgery. That was 8 years ago and still in remission. I take letrozole everyday for maintance. I wish I had got a second opinion at the beginning. Live and learn. Hope all goes well with you
