@katycot how did you discover your recurrence? I have recently finished my treatment and I seem to be clear. Wondering about asking for CT sans, blood work to monitor CA125 and HE4. Thank you for any guidance

@ckeintz Welcome to our Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.
May I ask if the kind of cancer that you were diagnosed with? What kind of treatment did you have?
When I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (endometroid adenocarcinoma, Grade 1, Stage 1a), I had a hysterectomy that removed my uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The hysterectomy was laparoscopic. When I returned for follow-up about 6 weeks after the surgery my gyn/oncologist gave me a Cancer Survival Plan that included information about my cancer, my pathology reports, and the recommendations for follow-up - how often and kind of follow-up.
What has your cancer care team told you about your follow-ups - often referred to as cancer surveillance appointments?
