My conversation with my gynecologic oncologist
I saw my gyne oncologist and he seemed pleased that I am closing in on 1 and 1/2 years since my hysterectomy with no signs of a recurrence. I finished my chemo treatment 1 year ago. That was the end of my treatment . Yah!! But what he told me surprised me . He said that 90% of my treatment was my hysterectomy and oopherectomy. So the clock starts with that date. Of the 10% left over, well 90 % of that is the chemotherapy . I did not have radiation but if I did that would 've been just 1% of my treatment . Interesting bit of information .....
