Christie,
Did you get a CT scan? My doctor said there was no reason to do one, and I'm disappointed in that. I would think they want as much info as possible for the surgery. I'm also getting concerned that insurance might decline my surgery without it. I had my pre-op yesterday and they were not even going to do any bloodwork before my surgery. I have no idea where my estrogen/progesterone levels are going in. I'm frustrated to say the least. All I can do is be at their mercy while I keep trying to advocate for myself.

No CT scan, no immediate US upon my initial complaint. from my gyn despite my age and risk profile. My PMD ordered it a month latter. No ca 125, no PET scan after my diagnosis to look for active sessions. I did get a CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis which has 2 concerning findings. That is why I requested the PET scan. My 2 friends who are being treated at the university cancer center in my area both received and continue to receive surveillance PET scans. I am on the wait list to transfer my care there after one chemo treatment. I will now have medicare and an excellent PPO so more choices. They did do blood work (CBC and comprehensive panel) and an EKG prior to surgery .
