Hello there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your recent surgery and can only imagine that waiting for the results must be unsettling for you.

Unfortunately it will only be the histology and biopsy reports that can say for sure what these tumours are and if this is indeed a cancer whether more treatment is needed.

Ovarian tumours will either be benign (not cancer), borderline ( not cancer but may contain pre-cancerous cells that if left may turn into cancer) or malignant (meaning cancer). Papillary tumours usually aren't cancer but when they look at these under the microscope they will be able to confirm for sure what is going on.

The omentum is a fatty lining that covers the organs in the pelvis area and sometimes this is removed or a biopsy sample during a hysterectomy where they are checking every part to see if everything is okay.

It isn't uncommon for results to take a good couple of weeks to come in so try not to read too much into waiting times.

Sit tight for now and keep your mind on other things whilst you wait.

I hope all work out okay for you but do get back in touch if needed or give us a call on 0808 800 4040 Monday-Friday 9-5.

Best wishes

Naomi
