Chances of OC?

[farrahscreations]

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum thanks for any advice you can offer.
I am 32 and a single mom of 3 boys.

So here is what i'm going through, any info would be greatly appreciated!

7 weeks ago I went to the doctor for a yearly exam. I had been spotting for 3 weeks prior so I figured something wasn't right and I needed to get checked out.

When I went in she found a spot on my cervix that she said looked like cauliflower and what she thought was a fibroid in my uterus. She immediately scheduled me for an ultrasound and a colposcopy.

During the colpo she took two biopsies and did a scrapping in the upper portion of my cervix.

Well, the two biopsies came back negative, but the scrapping that she did in the top part of my cervix came back as what she has called severe cervical dysplasia also called carcinoma-in-situ or a lesion.

She took 2 uterine biopsies that day which came back normal.

The ultrasound showed I have two tumors on my left ovary, one on each side of it and both are over 4cm in size and both are completely solid and neoplastic looking.
The volume of my left ovary is 43.76cm as where my right is only 3.43cm.

The CEA showed >5. The CA-125 is 6.8, but i know neither of these tests are real reliable.

I had a CT scan done yesterday and will receive the results of those Thursday when I go back to the doctor.
She told me she was doing the CT to see if there are anymore tumors in my body as well as see what the best way to remove the ovary is going to be.

Now to me it sounds as if she is thinking it's cancer but just hasn't come right out and said that lol.
I know she will not know for sure until the ovary is actually removed.

So I guess my question is do you guys have any input into what my chances of having OC are?

I don't have any insurance so the Doc I'm going to is in conguction with the local woman's hospital. They have me on what's called a CAP card which is basically a discount card, and they have also used several different resources to keep my bills down as much as they can.
I agree about the gyn/onc but I don't think it's going to be possible unless the hospital has one on staff.

And thank you both for responding. I seem to be a nervous wreck today.

If your gyn suspects cancer please request that she refer you to a gyn/onc for removal of the ovary, etc.  They are specifically trained to deal with ovca and will do the staging, washes and necessary biopsies at the time.  Hopefully, you are fine but you want to give yourself the best opportunity for recovery and remission if you are not. I'm speaking from experience - my gyn removed the ovary, and I had to have follow-up surgery with a gyn/onc to remove everything else.  You want to avoid that if you can.  Best wishes, Chris P

Hi,
I understand that your frightened, and confused with the unexpected findings. We go for a routine exam, and suddenly we have something to be concerned about, and that so often happens.

OVCA can only be diagnosed by pathology analysis after the removal and testing of your ovary, unfortunately there's no other way to be sure.

It sounds like your doctor is taking an aggressive approach to a diagnosis and that's very good. The CT scan will give her additional information about what's going on in your body,

Please keep us informed, and we'll be here to give you all the support you want, if you should need us.
