ty for all ur prayers and wonderful and timely advice
my family doc was treating me like i didn't need too know what she did ... don't get me wrong she is a wonderful person ... i came on this forum confused and was urged by some wise women to get a second opinion and this is how it went .....
the gyn i saw today will take my case and follow it ... he spent two hours talking to me !
he came in and we talked then he said that if i dont mind if he sees other patients i can wait and keep talking to him
WOW ... i asked him everything ... i wish i found him first
he even gave me a support group magazine
basically i have 2 large adenomas that between the two of them they are about the size of a four month pregnancy ... gee no wonder i was so miserable ... he suggested i will probably get a laporotomy because of the size ... adenomas may or may not be cancerous and these are not giving clear signs of one way or the other ... he also drew a second CA-125 and said if its like 40 or below not to sweat it at all (he will call me friday with those results) ... he suggests based on what he saw that i get a BSO at the minimum and the gyn onc will test it during the laporotomy and decide if (i hope not) i need any further treatment ... told me my lungs had no lesions and my breasts were clear
then he spent time talking about BRCA 1 & 2 testing for me first and then bringing my girls in if the results are positive and outline what kind of tests they would need or not need depending on the results
when i left he gave me a prescription for percocet (sp) and my gyn onc consult is either wednesday or thursday next week ... my family and i are going to the mountains for the weekend until my appointment (we had this vacation scheduled since January)
w0w w0w w0w i wish everybody's gyno was like that ... i hope yours is ... the pain pills actually help but i sure am sleepy ... i so wish i could come over and watch ur kids for you while u try ur pain pills i am lucky that my kids are older ... i kid you not ... after the pill kicked in i could stand one one foot and even dance dont get me wrong there is still some hurt and the bloating is tremendous ... but no where near how i felt yesterday
i am glad i found you or i would not be anywhere near the level of peace i feel right now
i came home from the dr and told my daughter i felt like i get to see dr.House LOL
i am going to type in some of the articles i found in the doctors office onto the website it had sooo much information
i was wondering Kasie, since my insides are as big as a 4 month pregnancy ... can i go maternity clothes shopping ?? LOL
surgeon consult on 7/07

Sharon,
I am so glad you feel more at ease now. Yes, all doctors should be like your new GYN!

Wow, you are so lucky to have a doctor like that. I am so glad you are being well taken care of. I can certainly relate to the four month pregnancy - I had that problem too before my surgery. My husband would jokingly ask me how the baby was! After your body gets used to the percocet the sleepiness will not be as bad. Give it a few days to a week. The relief must be heaven.

i posted it so that other women can demand that level of care
for me it was the very first time i felt like a medical doctor actually heard me LOL
and from now on that is the standard i am going to look for in a doc
i want to be able to direct people who are one step behind me to someplace they
can get direction
U know the best part of this forum is that i would never had sought him out
if u hadn't encouraged me to do it :)

im just wishing i had one to return a call..or answer the phone..they should treat others as they'd want to be treated themselves.but as in your case God will intervine ...as always he's right on time.
you are right we will be surgery buddies. if i can get some financail aid, because 4500 in two weeks is my husbands pay check for a month and a half. if not since the doctor is saying it is non emergent i will not got one till i pay half of 9000!!!!!! I do need to go to GA and get with your gyno. My family doctor is like that they have been helpfull during this time they have ordered procedures so i did not have to wait for obgyn appt. The gyno not so much we covered to important things in a half hour including risks of surgery since i had my uterus taken out three years ago and their is increased risks. Just think on your surgery two more weeks. Good Luck
Sharon,
I am so very glad that you looked for and found another Dr. So many times we like the Dr we have and do not want to seek out the advice of another one. But in some cases it just has to be done. It is great that this one listened to you and then took the time to talk with you and answer your questions. I know how much better you must feel. I wish you the very best .
