Granulosa Cell Tumour after Hysterectomy

I had an emergency full hysterectomy at the end pf August due to excessive bleeding post menopause and pre cancerous cells. The contents were sent to histology and I was shockingly diagnosed with a rare cancer, Granulosa Cell Tumour. My consultant rang me to tell me this and that there had already been an MDT meeting and they wanted me to have a blood test and another CT scan to see if it had spread. She messaged me last Wednesday (6 November) to say that she had the results and had sent them to the MDT again for review and decide the next cause of action. She didn't tell me what the results were and just said she would get back to me after their meeting. I am feeling very anxious because she didn't give me any further information or a timescale as to when she would get back to me. I am a private BUPA patient. I don't know whether to contract her again or wait a bit longer as I don't know how ofter they get together to discuss cases.

  • Hello Alloutgirl

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been told that a granulosa cell tumour was found after your hysterectomy. It's understandable that this came as a shock to hear. 

    Most hospital MDTs meet weekly or fortnightly, so don't be afraid to contact your Consultant if you still haven't received news. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully you will have some news soon Alloutgirl. Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
