Surgery shows spread of UPSC
Ladies, This is my worse fear and many have talked about it already - recurrence. Pathology showed endometrial cancer in my lymph node that was removed Thurs.

(I thought it would be easier to answer you in a new post rather than make you look for the answer to your question within that thread.) Prior to my big de-bulking surgery/hysterectomy they took my CA125 and it was 50, which they determined was 'non-diagnostic'. 3 weeks later they took my CA125 at my post-op and it was…
