@val64 Thank you for your very complete response to @annewoodmayo. Like you I was postmenopausal when I had a radical hysterectomy with bilateral -salpingo-oopherectomy in 2019. My recovery from that surgery was relatively quick and I haven't noticed any changes or differences. I was already experiencing vaginal dryness which is common during and after menopause and have been using moisturizers to treat the dryness.
@annewoodmayo You can certainly ask whether a gyn-oncologist at Mayo would do a video visit with you. I wonder, though, if there might be a reason to see you in person in case a physical exam is required for a first visit.
Here is the link you can use to request an appointment at Mayo Clinic. This link works for all three campuses (Rochester, MN; Phoenix, AZ; and Jacksonville, FL.

Are you planning to see your local gyn-oncologist again as you decide what you would like to do?

Hi Helen, Val, and other "gals" !
Thank you so much for your help.
I am so tired...My "real" health issue-- the one that effects my life almost every moment-- is an autoimmune disease. It isn't doing too well right now. Might be the weather, or my diet, or my mental health, or all of them combined. I'm not thinking as clearly as I am able, so
I'm going to back burner the Lynch decisions until my body is better and until I've finished figuring out my social security/medicare options, which has to be done by April 1. Medicare A and B are easy. The part D drug plan is byzantine in its complexity since I get specialty medication that isn't on the medicare formulary. I am happy that I now understand that word...so much to learn and process. So much money depends on the correct decision. I can't let the Lynch distract me from priorities...since no Lynch symptoms.
I'll be back to this thread at a later date. Please know that I am grateful for your help and wish you well with your health issues. THANK YOU!
