Endometrial Cancer Stage IIIC1

I started noticing the symptoms of the recurrence about 9 months after finishing chemo-- pelvic pain and acid reflux. I was being monitored every 3 months with pelvic exams. But two weeks after the NP had declared me all clear (I told her about the pain and the reflux), I demanded a redo because I could feel a new nodule in my vaginal cuff. Since I was worried, the NP then ordered a CT scan, although she thought it was nothing.

Yes we have to be our own advocates - too bad the actual oncologist could not do the examination. Here in South Florida, the NP's are replacing the Dr. for appointments due to shortage of Dr"s from everyone moving down here. Did you get CA 125 blood tests? That usually is a good indicator. In the beginning I was getting them every 6 months. Wishing you the best outcome.
