Nat2(Hey,girl I miss you)
Hey girl.I had been waiting on you to come back.How are you feeling girl?I dont know,some way somehow my drs knows I am the type of person that freaks out and looses it so all of our conversations have been brief and told it will be okay but you always pray for the best but be open for anything.
Mine was about 25cms and also one that was 5cm.I kinda fig. they had already planed on "Doing the works"but they just gave me the Maybe speech.
I am 31 they found mine @ age 30 and my life has been h*ll
since.
they took out my apendix as well and I dont know what to expect next.Please shed some light for me as far as whats next.I am numb.I cant get no understanding

Did you see my orginal response to your post Nat2'I'm Home'? I have just your other post about your stomach problems - I too had issues like that and was in pain for about 3 days but is soon sorted itself out.
What's next - your case sounds almost identical to mine so I guess that you have to wait for the path results and then they will discuss the options with you. As far as I understand it, if the results remain borderline you need to go for regular (about every 3 months) checks to see if anything is growing back (I think it is rare for it to reoccur but they have to be careful) - these checkups will gradually decrease to about every 6 months. They will do bloods where they test for tumour markers (CA-125 being one of them) and they may or may not to Ultrasounds. If the final pathology comes back malignant (although we should never think like this - it is also good to be prepared), my understanding (and this is not from the Drs mouth but from my research) is that they may want to do another surgery to biopsy other areas to see if it has spread, they will then stage your cancer depending on these results (Stage I is still confined to ovaries, up to stage IV where the cancer has spread to distant organs, such as the lymph nodes in the neck) - they will then recommend further treatment such as chemotherapy.

Hey,yeah at the time when I was looking for you I hadnt saw your other posting.
If it is stage1 and confined to the overy would that be a done dill do to the fact the overies are gone?Or would that still require further treatment.When will you know your results?Did they put you on any harmone meds or anything?

Hi,
I don't know what the suggested treatment is with Stage 1 - I have just had a look on the net but haven't found anything conclusive.
You can see more information on the stages on this website:

I get my final path results back tomorrow at 13:45 - I'm starting to get anxious again, they were looking at a part of the cyst that looked rough, they say it is where it could have been leaking - I'm praying it is not anything more sinister. I feel so tired of all of this, I feel okay after the op but my emotions are wrecked - I'm exhausted.
