@alohman08 Yes, hoping for remission for us all. For you, could they have surgically removed the omentum when the cancer showed up there? I personally believe cutting it out is more effective than hoping chemo kills it, because often chemo doesn't kill it. Oncologist at MSK (Dr. Makker) did tell me that if mine returns, it won't be cureable. That's probably the norm but reading posts, people have had a few recurrences, then surgery, and are now still NED 10 and 20 years later.

@inquirer good morning .. I asked my oncologist about surgically removing the omentum when my cancer recurred and she said that it was not done because USC is a high grade cancer that is systemic with microscopic cells that circulate in the body where as chemo has a better chance of killing everything that's circulating. Also that it's a serious operation with a number of risks. I'm fortunate that my cancer is very responsive to treatment and hopefully it can be managed for many years while continuing my active lifestyle. .. I was told from the beginning that there was no cure for USC but that it is managed through treatment and that has been my experience.
