Ovarian Cancer--Brenner TumorFrom: Leslie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 29 Jul 1999 19:51:54 -0500 (CDT)
My Mom was diagnosed at the age of 43 (1988) with either Stage III or IV Ovarian Cancer. She has since passed away (age 48.) I have written down that she had a "Brenner Tumor" also "Papillary Adenocarcinoma" "Moderately Differential." I am 34 years old now and wondering about a preventative Hysterectomy. I had always said I would do it when I was 35, but now that the time is so close I am just trying to sort through the pro's and con's of such a decision. I am the Mother of one child (she's 4)who has been on Clomid treatments (once to conceive my daughter, and about 9 cycles in the last 2 1/2 years). I have also undergone Lupron Depot treatment for Endometriosis (1993) and been on the B/C pill maybe a total of 2 years my adult life. My Maternal Grandmother passed away before I was born at the age of 52 from complications with Breast Cancer and an un-named abdominal cancer. I was just wondering with the information thaT I am offering you if you have any additional information you could offer me. I do get CA-125 tests and Trans-Vaginal U/S just about yearly. Thank you very much!
