The original surgery was done by an Ob/Gyn; the two pathologists did not agree on what was found on the ovaries is why I ended up going to UT/Southwestern to see Dr David Miller who had his pathologists read the slides with (thankfully) a completely different outcome; they said that I did not have mesothelioma and in fact the ovaries were benign. Dr Miller is sending me to Onc/Radiologist next week to see what treatment program I might benefit from to reduce the odds of the endometrial cancer coming back. Also, Dr Miller is going to order a CT after completely healing from my surgery as he did not feel he could get around my incision to biopsy the pelvic lymph nodes via lapriscopy at this time. He regrets that my original surgeon did not do it while he was doing the hysterectomy. I learned a valuable lesson in regard to any cancer diagnosis, go straight to an oncologist! If I would have actually had a second cancer and had to go through a second surgery because the first Dr did not biopsy the lymph nodes I would NOT have been happy. At this time no major surgery is in the picture and I hope it stays that way...
If I didn't have my orginal surgery done by a Gyn/Onc and had a mixed pathology, I would go for a second opinion from a Gyn/Onc. The pathologists won't send you, and if your surgeon hasn't suggested it, tell him you want the referral. Who is treating your endometrial ca?
