Hi @pinkfish66, welcome to the Gynecological Cancers group. I can certainly understand your concern and agree with @ejohn's suggestion of seeking the help of a health insurance advocate. It is really important to have trust in the doctors and care you're receiving.

Am I understanding correctly that you were originally diagnosed with Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia and about 1 year ago the diagnosis become Endometrial Cancer? Since that diagnosis you have not yet received any treatment? Do you know what stage of endometrial cancer that you have?

Yes I was diagnosed with Atypical hyperplasia,complex, and sent straight to
a gyn/oncologist from my ob/gyn. The gyn/oncologist told me from the
biopsy labs it showed squamous modular metaplasia also. Then she said she
was going to do a total radical hysterectomy, oophorectomy salpingo ,
lymphadectomy, release of ureter, appendectomy, and etc. because I have
cancer. She would stage me with surgery. And today I went to see her and
was 15 minutes late because my son drove an hour away to take me. So she
wouldn't see me because I was late. Am I crazy or is this doctor failing me
in immediate care I should have received a year ago?
