Uterine Leiomyosarcoma second opinion needed

Posted by apple321 @apple321, Sep 3, 2023

I was just diagnosed with Uterine Leiomyosarcoma LMS with stage 1B, no spread, and had the Total Hysterectomy on Aug 4, 2023. My oncologist said I don't need to do any cancer treatment right now, just need to go back to have scan every 3 months. I would like to seek a second opinion from another cancer center or oncologist, any recommendation or how to seek for it?
Many thanks.

Hooray, I'm very happy for you for your good news. May I ask why is in 4 months , not in 3 months for follow up check up next time? Did the doctor do CT scan with your lung or whole body in the check up ?
My uterine LMS is in stage 1B, because it's huge, 11cm.

@apple321. Why 4 months instead of 3? I don’t know the answer to that. My radiation oncologist recommended visits every 4 months with CT. The CT is done with contrast and focuses on lungs (thoracic) and pelvic area. Not full body. I’m thinking this is because they are looking for any signs of recurrence or new primary cancers in the areas most likely to show these.
