@inquirer Good morning...it sounds like your doctors are as informed as the oncologists at MSK which should give you some comfort...Is your cancer HER2+ ? Mine is and apparently there are more treatment options for HER2+ cancer. I agree with you that there doesn't appear to be a proven preventative treatment to stop the recurrence of a cancer that presumably was found and removed in its entirety with surgery.

@alohman08 I was diagnosed with stage 3C endometrial cancer. After hysterectomy it was at stage 4. I finished 6 treatments of chemo and immunotherapy in June. After pathology report, I was HER2+. Having 6 more treatments but with Herceptin along with the first chemo regime I had. PET scan showed everything had shrank except 1 lymph node and we're hoping these treatments knock it out. I'll have 3 treatments then have a scan. 🤞

@alohman08 Don't know if mine is HERS+ yet. They are doing genetic sequencing now. I may have complicated things by having my surgery done at UCI where the best surgeon was (published with MSK) and UCLA where the best chemo oncologist is. It's an effort to get info shared between the two sometimes but it's worth it for me. I believe I have among the best in the industry for each discipline; and all use MSK for independent evaluations.
