I, too, would like to echo the sense of uncertainty that each of you has alluded to in your posts. I had my surgery 2/23 and am doing very well, except that each time I read about someone experiencing a recurrence I have to ask myself if what I'm doing and if the level of surveillance that has been prescribed for me (currently every 6 months) will be enough to catch a recurrence while it's still "treatable." My understanding of endometrial adenocarcinoma following hysterectomy, oophorectomy and sentinel node biopsy with negative pelvic washings, is that any recurrence can only be detected by physical exam. I am depending on a medical professional's tactile senses to detect new growth of cancer cells. And, if this is what is required, how big does a tumor have to become before it is palpable? And once it is that large, what is the likelihood of further invasion around the vaginal cuff and pelvic region, and/or metastasis? I try very hard to have faith in what measures I am taking, including all the cost and effort of returning to my treatment team at Mayo. It IS challenging, though. Everyone I speak with says, "Yay!" when I tell them how well it's going, but I just don't want to rest in that and miss something that becomes unfixable. And, again, I know that I can only respond to what's so in each moment in my life and living in the future can be unsettling. I just want to express my appreciation for those of you willing to share here how you are struggling and/or coping with those struggles. I feel SO much less alone in it! I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and wish each of you excellent care, safety where possible and lovely days and nights.
