Hi cysters!
I haven't posted in quite a while, but wanted to let you know the updates. I finally have a wonderful gyn- she listens and explains everything -who will perform an abodminal hysterectomy on May 30th (long wait)! The cysts on my right ovary are still there, the one on my left is complex and has grown. Several of the doctors believe that my initial diagnosis of a subseptus uterus is incorrect and that I actually have a large fibroid that has distorted the uterus. I fought to keep my ovaries (I'm 43), and the surgeon has agreed. They will do a cystectomy on the ovaries and then remove the uterus (I'm leaving the cervix). Also, they will repair a rectocele that formed after the difficult birth of my son 21 years ago. I decided that since all the doctors agreed ( I sought out three additional opinions) it was necessary to have the uterus and cysts removed, I'm going for a tummy tuck! Yup, if they're going to slice me open anyway, might as well get put back together in a better way! :) :). If I don't do it now, probably never will. They said the surgery will last a little over six hours (egads). They are doing another ultrasound on May 8th. My uterus had grown 3 cm in 6 weeks, but the doctor believes this is incorrect and is just technician error. Sure hope she's right, I'd hate to think about a fibroid growing that fast. Anyway, hope that any of my cysters who have been told to remove their organs get another opinion!! My 1st doctor had wanted to remove everything - so GLAD I didn't! I need to catch up again on all of the posts. Hope you are all doing well! Robin
