Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour

Hi, 

My name is Laura and I am 24 years old. 3 weeks ago I had laparotomy to remove a large tumour, my right ovary, right fallopian tube, dissection of my lymph nodes in the right side of my pelves and a biopsy of the cysts on the left ovary. The surgery had a few complications and I've had complications post surgery such as wound infection, chest infection and fluid in my chest. 

My biopsy result came back as a juvenile granulosa cell tumour. Thankfully it was stage 1c grade 1 so as far as I am aware I have no more tumours.

My doctors are baffled by this due to me being so young and the hospital havent had a case of it in 10 years. I am finding it hard to find information about it. I'm not surs whats really going on anymore and if theres anyone that has information that would be amazing.

Thanks

Laura

    Hi Lauracbaa,

    I see that this is your first post to the forum so I extend a very warm welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I am sorry to hear that you too have a rare form of cancer. I have a rare form of breast cancer and know how frustrating it can be to find any information about it. Have you tried looking on this site? If you go up to the blue banner at the top of this page and insert Juvenile Granulosa cell tumour, you will bring up previous posts about this type of cancer. There are 7010 posts, so hopefully,  you’ll  find some helpful information here.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you whenever you want to talk.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
