I agree with the above post. I think your Dr. are doing what needs to be done,and your sx sound alot like endometriosis....which will not show up on any scans. I believe you might need the laproscopy just to be sure. Good luck!~~~Joanne

I would give the chemo a try. We are all different with how we react to chemo. If shes in pretty good health she might find it easy to take..and as stated above it can been given in smaller doese if you find it's too hard on her and taking her quality of life away. Not easy decisions to make I know that,good luck I will keep you in prayer~~~Joanne

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you are asking?? What problems did your Onc mention?? I know many insurance companies do not cover PET scans..so if thats one thing they're talking about doing I think you might want to make sure your covered by ins if you need it. ~~~Joanne

With your family backround I would want a total hysterectomy with removal of everything. I also think I would ask for a second opinion and go to an Onc/gyn. That is who you really want to have at the surgery as well as a surgeon for the gall bladder issue. Good luck,keep us posted.~~~~Joanne
