Mood: lady452008
I had a daVince Robotic Full Hyster April 18 2008
About Me: Female, 45, member since Mar 2008
I'm a 45 year old woman who has been having problems with fibroids and ovarian cysts since Sept 2006.  I have gone for several ultra sounds and 1 CT, so far.  I'm continuing to see doctors and hope to have these issues resolved soon.  The fibroids continue to grow as we... [More] ll as the cysts.  The cysts on right ovary is now a complex cystic solid mass.  I never had problems with my left ovary before and suddenly there is now a complex cyst on my left side as well.  I also have a 5mm hyperechoic focus in my left kidney which could be a small stone, but we don't know yet.  My family doctor is sending me to a GYN oncologist.  I see him March 13 2008.  I'm just looking to connect with others that have similar issue's and we can share what we're going through.  

I had my Full Hyster including cervix on April 18 2008 and it's now May 3 2008 and DON'T REGRET having it all removed.  Surgery went FAR BETTER than I could have EVER EXPECTED AND I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED with this being my first surgery.  I am hear for ALL to ask away with any questions you may have.  

I have my records in hand for this Thursdays March 13, 2008 appointment and they are as follows:

From Sept 19 2007 to my Feb 12 2008 measurements of my fibroids have gone from:

1st largest on Rt of uterus measured Sept 19, 2007
3.0 x 2.9 x 2.7 cm
Now it measures as of Feb 12 2008
3.4 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm

Second largest being on left side of uterus measured on Sept 19 2007
1.7 x 1.9 x 1.5 cm
Now on Feb 12 2008 it measures
2.7 x 2.6 x 2.1 cm

There's also a note about prominent endometrial thickening 13mm. Don't know what this means.

My right ovary cyst on the CT on Oct 3rd measured:

4.2 x 2.5 cm stated it's a hypo dense mass. Feb 12th Ultra Sound states I have a Complex Cystic and Solid Mass on my right ovary. Also contains a 2.0 cm nodule. Now my LEFT SIDE also has a Complex cystic mass measuring 2cm and I never had any problems with my left ovary before. There's also a 5mm hyper echoic focus in my left kidney, which could be a small stone.

Conclusions:
1. Myomatous uterus.
2. Thickening of the endometrium. This may be further evaluated with hysterosonography.
3. Complex Cystic and Solid Mass in the right ovary. Additional imaging with CT or MRI is recommended to further characterize.

I think I covered it all. I don't understand the conclusions. I'll have to search and see what I can learn about #1. Also, I don't know what a hysterosonography is. I've already done the ultra sounds and just had a CT in Oct which said to follow with a Ultra sound which was the last thing I did on Feb 12th. I "think" my family doctor is just cutting to the chase and sending me to the oncologist to get this taken care of before there is a problem. I do know that a solid mass increases chances of cancer. I'm HOPING there is NO WAY this doctor on the 13th is going to put off taking this mass out. I REALLY NEVER WANTED to have everything out, but at this rate of this going on since Sept 2006 and now all my parts are involved I think it's time to take it all out to avoid anything more happening. I just don't know if a doctor does this at my request, because of these issue's or if he'll only do it if he decides it should be done.

In everyone's knowledge of all your own issues and maybe other women you know what do you all think should be done about all this? I'm tired of all the discomfort and PAINS I keep getting. I was woken up in the middle of the night last night from the pain.

I really appreciate how I've been hearing from you all. You ALL are so wonderful. THANK YOU.

Actually, now that I have the records in hand and read them for myself I'm not stressed like I was before seeing what they said myself.

Hope you all are having a GREAT DAY!!! :-D

I'm happy to say it's settled down whatever it was. I think it is just a part of the healing, but it sure would be nice ...
