Dear all,
About 6 weeks ago, I had a tumor (and one of my ovaries) removed. Just recently, the lab results came back, indicating that the tumor is malignant - teratoma immature, an extremely rare ovarian cancer.
Based on this result, it has been deemed that further courses of action should be taken, in case there is relapse. I have sought the advice of a number of doctors, each with their own opinion on what should be done. There seems to be no consensus on the course of action, but with a number of options:
1- remove the other ovary, and possibly uterus; followed by possible chemotherapy
2- chemotherapy only
I am really confused as to who I should be listening to?? Are there not any tests that can be done that clearly indicate whether the cancer has relapsed or spread? Thank you.
