@kirstinleigha These are very good questions to ask your doctor.

You can ask your doctor - maybe the Gyn Oncologist for a cancer survivorship plan. I was given this by my doctor after my hysterectomy that was performed for endometrial cancer. Many of your questions could be answered by such a plan.

You could ask the following:

Will I be on a cancer surveillance schedule to check for any signs of recurrence? (By example, my cancer surveillance schedule was to be seen every 6 months for the first few years).

Will I need more treatment? Radiation therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy?

You wrote that the pathology report indicates spillage during surgery. I don't know what that is but I think you might be asking if there is further treatment for the spillage. Is that correct?

You wrote in another post here that your appointment with the Gyn Oncology doctor was scheduled for Friday. Was that for today? If so, what information did you get from the GYN Oncologist you saw today?
