Gynecologic cancers: What do you wish you had known?

@robings I've gained weight since I had my total hysterectomy for endometrial cancer in 2019. In addition to the increase in your waist size did you gain overall weight?
In my local community I have an excellent primary care physician who answers questions and spends all the time we need together. However, if I'm referred within the community I have a similar experience to what you described. I find that I have to do the work to make sure everything is in place for whatever the treatment will be.
This is not all the case at Mayo Clinic where care is coordinated between and among medical providers and departments. It's an 8 hour drive for us to go to Mayo Clinic and it's worth it. When I've had these excellent experiences at Mayo Clinic I often arrive home wondering why so many medical practices operate in their own silos and do not adopt the Mayo Clinic model.
What is APC treatment? Was that related to the endometrial cancer?
