Stage 1 Ovarian CancerFrom: Adrienne (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 29 Nov 2001 04:50:50 -0600 (CST)
I had surgery on Nov 1st to remove a large (9cm) cyst that was suspected to be a dermoid cyst. I ended up having the cyst, one ovary, and one fallopian tube removed. Preliminary finding was that I had a "borderline tumor". I also had some small cysts removed from the other ovary, and some lymph nodes and endometriotic tissue was also removed. I learned yesterday that the lymph nodes and small cysts appear to be fine. But now I'm told that within the "borderline tumor," I have Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer. I am 37 years old and will never have children. There is an extremely strong history of colon cancer in my family. Would it be recommended that the intact ovary be removed? What differentiates Stage 1 from Stage 2? Thanks so much!
