Is There Anything I Need To Do After A Complete Hysterectomy And Recovery From Endometrial Cancer?
Question: I HAD ENDOMETRIAL CANCER 3 YRS AGO AND HAD A FULL HYSTERECTOMY...IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD DO AS FAR AS ANY FOLLOW UPS...ALSO SINCE I HAD A FULL HYSTERECTOMY DOES THAT MEAN THAT CANCER MOST LIKELY OR CANNOT RETURN...OR EVEN SPREAD TO ANOTHER PART OF BODY??
Brief Answer:
Hysterectomy
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking
The fact that you had hysterectomy and you are under follow up mine that your disease it’s under control and that’s is right choice in your case
In cancer patients,one purpose of follow-up care is checking to see if the cancer has come back or has spread to other parts of the body due to the fact of total hysterectomy in your case
Best regards

Brief Answer:
Endometrial cancer
Detailed Answer:
Dear madam I am sorry for the late response but due to the fact that I’am a doctor I am leveling in Europe too
Most recurrences will occur within the first 3 years after treatment. Patients should undergo follow-up every 3–4 months with physical and gynecological examination for the first 2 years, and then with a 6 month interval until 5 years.
Kindly hope you accept my apology
