Hi, yes. It is AGCT on right ovary, Grade 1, FIGO stage 1C2.I am really confused as at one place they want me to do chemo and on another they told me there is no treatment. Please advice. Thank you

Hello, @cpl This is indeed very confusing with two very different recommendations. How is all this affecting you emotionally? Did the doctors explain their recommendations? If I was in your situation I'd be really anxious trying to figure out what to do.

When I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2019 I returned for an appointment with the GYN/ONC surgeon one month later and she gave me a 5-year cancer survivorship plan. She recommended no other treatment at the time and she explained why (FIGO Grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, Stage 1a).

Are you seeing doctors at academic medical centers with a cancer care center where the care is coordinated across departments? For instance, a relative of mine is getting his care at Stanford University's Cancer Institute in California. I go to Mayo Clinic's Cancer Institute in Rochester, MN. Both of these places are designated as comprehensive cancer care centers with the National Cancer Institute.

Where are you located? Are you thinking of going to Mayo Clinic?

cpl, I agree with @naturegirl5. It is very confusing to get 2 different treatment options from two different medical centers. It might be helpful to get a third opinion. Has surgery been discussed?
