@afowler876 Is this a procedure recommended by your oncology surgeon for yourself or for a loved one? I’d like to offer my concern for being in the position to make such a huge decision as this.
Here is a video of Dr. Amanika Kumar from Mayo Clinic explaining what pelvic extenteration is and the reasons it is done. Dr. Kumar was my GYNOncology surgeon for a hysterectomy when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
