Medical issues - Surgery needed
8 years ago
Not the emergency kind thankfully!
Spent two very uncomfortable hours at the doctor today (The doctor and crew are amazing.) getting two ultrasounds and a biopsy done.
The findings are what I expected and two other issues besides. :P
I have a two inch cyst on an ovary. This leads to Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, that comes with some symptoms, of which I have all.
I have a 1-2 inch mass in my uterus. Unknown at this time if it's cancerous. That's what the biopsy was for. (Oh man did that HURT.)
And lastly I have a fibrous growth on the uterus lining wall.
This means surgery. I've opted for full uterus and one ovary removal so that I don't have to have repeat surgeries in the future. I'm also 48, so not worried about having kids. If I don't have this removed it will get worse and put me at great risk.
Not sure when this will be happening as we have to wait for the biopsy. If it's cancerous, that'll be an entirely different set of doctors. But I will be having this surgery no matter what. I'll make sure not to take commissions around the time of it all, and keep people informed. Every surgery, even out patient like this, comes with the risk of death. So I don't want people never getting commissions. Now, I'm not expecting to die, so there should just be a delay of maybe a week or two depending on how I feel. :) The doctor is expecting in for breakfast surgery, home for dinner. I'm healthy, in spite of all this, so should come through no problems.
Kinda scared, won't lie. But I take comfort in a hospital five minutes from my house, that has saved my husband's life five times now. So.. More when I know dates.

Thank you! I'm expecting things to go as planned, just don't know when the surgery happens yet. :)

I'm very sorry you have to go through this. Hopefully the surgery has no complications, and the mass is not cancerous. You'll be in my thoughts. Take care.

Best of luck for an easy surgery with no complications, and for no cancerous cells. I've never heard of the procedure being done and leaving one ovary...that is interesting. Is it for the hormones?

Thank you! <3 it's totally for hormones. One ovary is still just fine, and to not send me into immediate menopause, and have to load down on a ton of meds, one is left. I'm still a smidge young for menopause, and even after it, the ovaries still produce hormones you need.

Menopause is a drag. I'm glad that the one ovary will be your champion. >^.^< Even though I would like to stomp mine at times, they're pretty important. My thoughts are with you ma'am!
