Is Surgery Required For Stage-1 Cervical Cancer After A Total Hysterectomy?

Posted on Thu, 14 Sep 2017

Question: My surgical oncologist operated based on pathology report that was wrong. The report said I had uterine cancer and when she did the complete hysterectomy including nodes it was found I had stage 1b1 cervical cancer. Two weeks later she wants to do more surgery to take a 1 1/2 margin around where's the cervix used to be. When I asked her if she expected to find cancer in the margin, she said no. I don't want more surgery. Nodes and all other tissues were cancer free. No radiation or chemo are i
Being recommended. What is your opinion?
