@johnquinn, welcome. You've been on this road for a while now. I'm tagging @spenbar24 to make sure they saw your post.

There are members talking about total pelvic exenteration in the Gynecologic Cancer support group here:
- Anyone had pelvic exenteration surgery for cervical cancer? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pelvic-exenteration/

@johnquinn, do you have a date scheduled for the surgery?
