Ovarian cancer ?

Offline Dottridge over 3 years ago

i have 2 cyst .

one is 5 cm and had a solid component in it .

i have had 2 scans and they can’t see what’s inside .

i have to have urgent operation to remove ovaries and tubes ( had womb removed 25 years ago ) having this on the 20th June .

I have been told low risk but they can’t say if it’s cancer till I have my ovaries removed.

unfortunately can’t do key hole so have to have to have bigger operation.

i have only in the last 2 months had major spine surgery which I am still recovering from..

feeling very anxious

I have had complex ovarian cysts 6cm and 4cm they were removed as lm post menopausal and they could be cancerous. The operation was scheduled to be laparoscopic but as they couldn’t find the left overy they changed to open. It was embedded in adhesions which took over 4 1/2 hours to remove. It did take a few weeks to recover but the biopsies were fortunately benign.
I’m pleased to say that the left sided pain that I had for ages has resolved .

my gynae oncologist was great she said that most surgeons would have left the adhesions but as they were probably causing the problems l am glad that they are out.
l hope your operation goes well

take care
