Amber's situation was clearly deemed necessitating the hysterectomy but they mitigated the anesthesia risk by using an epidural block rather than giving her general anesthesia....that's not commonplace, but the little she has detailed about that surgery and her recovery ring true that a spinal block of some kind was used. I don't remember exactly what Amber's paperwork said but she was either late stage one or early stage two. At the time I thought her paperwork looked genuine.
From the medical report:I'm surprised shes using terms like "cancer free" and "her Dr agrees". I've just passed the 6 year mark since my surgery, and certainly not been told that by my specialists although after 5 years they tend to not follow you anymore. I suspect she might well be trying to convince herself that the cancer is gone simply so she can blow off her gyn/onc appointments, because guaranteed she's not happy having an internal pelvic examination every 3-6 months...and yes they still shove that speculum up there for a look around even with no cervix, uterus or ovaries.
History of Present Illness:
Chief Complaint Grade 1 Endometrial Cancer.
This 29 year old gravida 0 para 0 presents today for follow up after total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-ooophonectomy on July 15, 2020 with final pathology showing Stage 1B grade 2 Endometrial cancer (56% MMI; no lvsi). She had a CT scan earlier today showing stable abdominal and retroperitoneal adenopathy.
Medically, it does not make sense for her to use the terms "cancer-free" and "her Dr agrees". No oncologist would use the term cancer-free or agree that she is cancer-free after less than a year after diagnosis and surgery, and still doing follow-ups. The Dr probably said that they remove the main tumour and she deducted it means that she is free of cancer. Besides, they are evaluating her enlarged lymph nodes and this is the reason for the CT appointment.
