Hi Scott here, this is the hardest news you can hear I know. So you can and should get second opinion. Try and find a tumor board they discuss cases with multiple doctors to go over treatments and potential surgery. I had stage 3 EC treated with chemotherapy and surgery and chemotherapy again. That started August of 2024 first found out. Treatment chemotherapy started October 7th surgery January 3rd other chemotherapy February 9th finished April 5th. There maybe other alternatives also. Trials might be available also. Don’t give up hope ok there’s been different treatments on this forum also. Hope this helps be well!! Scott
