Yes, they left her other ovary and we also wondered why. She will be seen on Sept. 10, 2008 by the GYN/Oncologist. Her doctor said that the tumor was a low grade cancer and he believes that it was self contained and had been there for years and years. He waited a year before removing it because it was not growing. My sisters and I are just so concerned that we are not being told everything by the doctors or just don't understand what they are telling us.
At 74 they left her other ovary? If the tumor was malignant she needs to be seen by a GYN/Oncologist as they are the experts. Also, was she staged during surgery? The stage of the disease will determine the course of treatment.
