my utrasoud results, I am scared, please help. Posted: 07-24-03 21:43pm
I was just given the results from my
ultrasound. Multiple ovarian cysts,
numerous inutero fibroids and a severly
enlarged uterus. There is a history of
ovarian cancer in my family as well as
breast cancer.
I went to the county hospital for this and
I am waiting for them to send me an
appointment.
I am scared and would like to know where
else I could get information on this
including proper diagnosis, treatment
options as well as supportive chat rooms.
Also, If anyone has advice on how to ask
questions to my doctor, I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks, Kim

Surgery Posted: 10-16-03 13:21pm
I also found during a check up that I had
a grapefruit sized tumor in the one ovarie
surgery was scheduled within a week and a
complete hysterectomy was done. Once
inside they saw that the other ovary had a
tumor in it. Both came back no cancer. I
say go into this with one thing in mind if
there are masses whether they are
cancerous or not they need to be removed.
I am so pleased with my surgery and the
healing was easier than I thought it would
be. Surgery was on monday and came home
on wednesday. 24 yr old daughter stayed
with me to help with household stuff while
her dad worked and her brother 12 went to
school. She did cooking cleaning etc so I
could rest and mend and within a week I
was back to normal lol hope this helps
