I had a rough night with pain. After taking my husband to the airport, I called my GYN doctors office. The doctors are out of town at a conference/seminar. I talked with the nurse to ask about the pain that keeps intensifying since Wednesday's doctor visit and ultrasound. I was instructed to go immediately to the ER, in case what is on my left ovary has burst or about to.
So, I went to the ER, had a CT scan done. What was found.... not only has the mass on my left ovary grown to 8cm, but now my right ureter is collapsed and something with the right kidney also.
I have an appointment to see the very same urologist that my husband goes to. Will see him on Thursday. Also will see my GYN doctor Wednesday. And also will see a GYN/oncologist next week.
Surgery is needed to removed the 8 cm mass and also to inject dye to look at the ureter and also will look at the kidney. A stent may be put into the ureter if nothing else is causing this problem.
Now we finally know what has caused all the severe pain since last Fall. So, now I must go for appointments and everything will be arranged for surgery.
No matter what.... I am not waiting until my husband returns home from China if the doctors need to do surgery right away. My husband has told me while waiting for his connecting flight to not wait, to do what I need to do to get this all taken care of. I told him, if the doctors want surgery immediately.... I won't refuse and never would that thought to.
