Today I saw my oncologist for my 2nd followup following surgery to remove a 16.5 cm borderline, stage 1a cyst and TAH. While I was there, my doctor told me about another patient, who just happens to be one of the nurses in my gyno's office.
At 8 weeks pregnant, this poor girl was diagnosed with 2 cysts, 1 on each ovary, grapefruit sized. They did surgery shortly thereafter to remove the cysts and were able to save the pregnancy, however they were unable to 'stage' the cysts because of the pregnancy. So, for 7 months this woman waited to find out if she had ovca or not.
On Monday, she went into labor, delivered a healthy baby and our doc did a TAH and debulking. They were then able to do more looking around and stage everything. Her cysts turned out to be borderline, stage 1a just like mine and she will have no chemo or radiation.
My doctor was so excited, he was just beaming. Things have definitely been going his way and his patient's way lately.
Just made me feel so good, I wanted to share with everyone.
Have a joyous day!
