11 year old with mass on ovary
by lil sunshine, Mar 25, 2005 12:00AM
My daughter went in for a kidney US and they found her left kidney to be blocked and explored further and found a 8x7x5cm{I think those are the dimensions} mass on her left ovary. We meet again with the GYN ONC on Apr 5th to discuss surgery and options. She also has a psuedotumor cerebri due to hydrocephalus {and a brain malformation}in her brain and they are saying a possible glioma not showing up on MRI . She started puberty at age 7 and monthly periods at 10 .She is having her kidney surgery in the summer as they want to give her body time to heal.
They are calling it a dermoid cyst or tertama maybe beign or malignat. I asked my Oncolgist{I had a bone tumor} about her negative tumor markers and he said it really wasn't conclusive for all tumors.He feels that the only choice the drs have is to biopsy to make sure it's not cancer. I know I will only feel good about this. She has lost 20 lbs in a year and is nauseous all the time. At 1st the thought was it was from her spinal tap but it has persisted for over a year so we know it's not that.Thank God her neurologist ordered the US!

We can only pray for a good outcome and at least I have friends who are here for me. Her teachers are giving her support too.
