After years of moderate Endometriosis- and Due to severe anemia, I had a hysterectomy in 2002. I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer a year later, followed with I-131 treatment, and a recurrence and a second I 131 treatment. Due to A history of PE's. My dr and I chose to leave the ovaries at the time of the hyterectomy. In 2005, My INR went out of control, and thru a full body CT scan, they discovered a tumor larger than a grapefruit encompassing my left ovary. 7 hours of surgery, removing the tumor/L ovary and a mass of adhesions which had fused many of my organs together...My oncologist has followed me closely.
In March, I started with some *just not right* symptoms, the fullness...and they found 2 tumors on the R ovary. due to a lack of insurance...I waited until this month...when A hospitalization from an MRSA flare in my lungs gave me a pneumonia....I left with severe pain and bruising in my lower right Quadrant.
The ultrasounds (Trans vag and reg) show a Right Adnexal "mass" up to 8.6 cm in size. Showed no definitive internal bloodflow and suggested a Hypovascular andnexal or ovarian neoplasm.
The US report was Complex right Hemipelvic/adnexal area mass.
A CT was ordered to follow up: results: Complex relatively Hyperdense mass in the right adnexa, anteriorly located and displacing the bladder. Size is over 8 cm.in diameter. The radiologist report says it is almost impossible to tell if this more associated with the rectus abdominus muscle as the R ovary is not clearly visible. He leaves it with a possible severe hematoma,, but recommends f/u with my oncol and an immed consult with a GYN....
I am a relatively informed patient...but there are just too many possibilities and confusion. PLEASE, any advice, guidance...between my cancer history and endometrial status...I don't know whether to be scared or try to wait out the pain...HELP!
Thanks...chelle
