Ovarian tumour

Hi everyone. I will try to brief. Three months ago I was found to have extremely large growth on spine. On further investigation another growth was found on my ovary. I have been so lucky the spinal growth was benign and they say that the one on ovary looks the same. They are going to monitor it and I am due to go next month. Could you please tell mr what procedure they use? 

 

  • Hello Shirleyb16

    I'm glad to hear that your recent investigations have shown that the growth on your spine is benign. I'm sure that gave you some reassurance. 

    I'm afraid that I don't know how they will monitor the growth on your ovary. It may be that they want to repeat some of the tests that they have already done but if you are concerned about your upcoming appointment then do get in touch with the hospital or your GP for some advice and support. 
    Best wishes,
