Re: low borderline malignancy?From: anonymous@obgyn.netSun, 28 Nov 1999 22:30:35 EST
Dr. M: Thanks for responding! Here is the deal - the LMP was not known at surgery, so no lymph nodes or omentum was taken, although he did remove the left ovary and tube. Remember when I told you last week about some intermittent pain in the right ovary? Well, that has increased steadily since last Wednesday, and is now steady, there all the time, and growing in intensity. I assumed at first it might be the ovary compensating or adjusting to being on it's own in the hormonal thing, and dismissed it. Then as the pain grew, I started taking my Motrin 600mg every 6-8 hours, which then became every 4-5 hours. As of yesterday, the Motrin is no longer effective and I had to dig out my Darvocet, much to my dismay (almost threw all of those pain meds away as I was sooooo happy to not have to take them after the first couple of post-op days). I guess I should just be grateful that the pain is not as bad as it was before when I had to take that Percocet, instead of complaining, but it concerns me what is going on, especially having to leave the realm of OTC analgesics. I'm still running the same low grade temp that I ran during the whole course of the serous cystadenoma ordeal, but it doesn't get over like 99.6 or 99.8, and had actually gone completely away for several days, only to return with the right ovarian pain. I do know that the last ultrasound prior to surgery showed a small cyst on the right ovary, but he didn't say anything about having removed it and there was no pain in that area post op, although he was very detailed (with my family - I was out of it post op, needless to say) about everything else. I'm having no nausea, etc... and actually would feel back at about 75-80% if it weren't for the right ovarian pain. Any ideas as to what could be going on? The research that I've done on your site says that these cystadenomas can be bilateral, but wouldn't you be able to tell the appearance of a small cyst as to whether it could possibly be another cystadenoma? I kept thinking it would get better and go away, but instead just keeps increasing - feels almost like someone is twisting my ovary - which is very similar to the beginning pain with the other when it was just the size of a golf ball, of course, it had grown to the size of a small volleyball by the time we did surgery, which was only one month from the CT scan which first showed the mass. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated, as I am completely stumped and my doc is out of town until later in the week. Also, since pathology came back with LMP, would that mean having to go back in for lymph node and omentum testing? I certainly hope not! Once was more than enough! If so, can that all be done laproscopically, or would it have to be a laparotomy? Thanks, Victoria
