A MyEndometrialCancerTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have my first follow-up appointment after my hysterectomy this coming Thursday. I was just curious what happens at that appointment? I know I will be receiving information from my pathology report, because I have chosen not to open my chart and read the results before I go (For my own mental well being, I'm not ready to know that information without having a plan of action should there be more treatment necessary).

Your first follow-up appt after surgery will most likely include a review of your surgical recovery & the results of the pathology reports of your tumor & lymph nodes. This will include the stage of your cancer and a recommended treatment plan based on the results. It is important to ask if your tissue samples have been sent out for genetic analysis and if those results are ready. That analysis will determine if your tumor is could be responsive to specific treatments such as immunotherapy, should that be necessary. Wishing you a stage 1 diagnosis!

I just wanted to jump in and answer my own question for anyone who may read it in the future. My follow up appointment included a review of my pathology report. Also, I received an exam to check my vaginal cuff, as well as examining my abdominal incision. We discussed how my progress has been since surgery and any issues I was having. Other normal things... weight check, blood pressure, pulse, O2. My pathology report did not indicate any further treatment, only to follow up with my ob/gyn for exams every 6 months.
Grateful for a Stage 1A diagnosis!!

At your follow-up appointment, your healthcare provider will review your pathology report and discuss the stage of your cancer. Based on these results, they will outline any additional treatments that may be needed. Some people with stage 1 endometrial cancer may only need surgical treatment, while more advanced stages might require additional therapies like radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Your doctor will also check how you're recovering from surgery. They'll likely discuss any post-surgical symptoms you may be experiencing, such as:
• Vaginal bleeding
• Soreness at the surgery site
• Issues with bowel movements or urination
• Fatigue

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, your healthcare provider can recommend ways to manage them effectively.
