Surgery scheduled at MD Anderson… cancer suspected
5 years ago my local GYN found a 4cmx4cm tumor on ovary. I’ve already had Non Hodgkins and Breast cancer so she did CA 125 and ultrasounds every 6 months. Grew to 7.1cmx6.8cm. CA 125 raised but still normal. She refused to do surgery to remove.
Went to MD Anderson and had tests The radiologist and the surgeon agrees, explained that he thinks it is cancer because it keeps growing I’m 68, post menopause. Strong history of cancer and have Chek2 I’m terrified. I was told that if it is cancer they will do debunking while I am still under. Trying to figure out what I’m going to be waking up to? Any chance this cyst could be benign? lol yup I’m in denial. How long will a hospital stay be? We don’t live in Houston but they specialize in difficult surgery, so here I am. Any insights or help on how to cope would be appreciated.
