@naturegirl5 , I am definitely receiving lots of support from my family and friends. And I'm doing pretty well with all of this surprisingly.

I just received a report yesterday and the doctors say that it's difficult to find to tell if the EIN and Ovarian cancer were related but they believe that they are not based on different factors.

My gyn oncologist wants to remove all the lymph nodes from my understanding in the pelvic area, due to the EIN possibility being cancer by now since it's not responding to treatment. I was able to receive a second opinion this week and they believe that removing the lymph nodes and chemo are not necessary right now because they believe that the ovarian cancer had a low chance of spreading to the lymph nodes, just that they would monitor closely. In terms of the EIN/ Endometrial Cancer, they think its time for a hysterectomy. I have a lot to think about especially since the surgery and chemo are meant to be a preventive measure for future cancers in my pelvic region and I don't think it's necessary at this moment.

I am worried about effects like lymphodema and of course, all the side effects of chemo.

@diana270 That's great that you got a second opinion. You do have lot to consider and ultimately it's your choice what you want to do. Since these future surgeries and chemotherapy are preventive it makes sense to take your time and consider the possibilities.

Do you have any other appointments coming up?
