increased vascular flow, complex mass

[roseanneweber]

I am having surgery on Tuesday to remove/investigate a complex ovarian mass with increased vascular flow. From what I understand increased vascular flow is the most important indication of cancer detectable from ultrasound.  

My resistive index is >.41  

Can anyone comment on this?

Thank you so much for your time.

I agree 100% with Dian you need a gyn/onc at the surgery.  I'm surprised that more testing hasn't been done and that you weren't referred to a gyn/onc.  By more testing I mean a ct scan or a ca-125?  I also don't know anything about your resistive index either!  Good luck and as Dian said please keep us posted~~~~Joanne

I am not able to speak to your " resistive index " as I am not familiar with it.  I will say I can understand how much stress there is in the wait for surgery.....Tuesday will be here before you know it.  I am curious as to who is doing your surgery.....YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.....make absolutely certain you have a gyn/oncologist at your side during surgery.....this is their arena of specialty.   Please do keep us posted....I will listen for your voice again.
Peace.
