Monday Morning Roundup
What's going on this week? Who's having surgery, appointments, recovering, etc.?
I'm home recovering from a lapratomy I had two weeks ago.....had both ovaries and a softball sized cyst removed....thankfully no cancer. I have a 5" vertical incision from just below the belly button downwards. Today is my first day home alone. Hubby returned to work today and left me with strict orders to do NOTHING other than watch TV all day. I'm glad I have a dog....or I'd be bored out of my mind. The house needs vacuuming bad, but I don't dare try to push a vac just yet. I'm just glad to be recovering and not dealing with the anticipation of surgery. I drove everyone around me mad with the anxiety I was experiencing!
I misspelled it.....I meant laparotomy.....are we not able to edit our posts here?
started bc pills for 6 weeks to try to shrink my 6cm cyst, hopefully it works. Having a lot of back and thigh pain today, feels like sciatica. Hopefully the pills work because I really hate this feeling. This is the longest a cyst has ever given me a problem.
I'm at home, had a laparotomy on 6th January to remove my right ovary (which had turned black due to torsion!) and a large dermoid cyst. I'm feeling pretty well now, just so bored being at home! I'm planning on returning to work on 16th February all being well :)
MarieMichele - follow those orders!
We need to treat recovery like a holiday. I was off for 6 weeks and boy did I read a lot of books.

Hi Guys...
Ugh, you aren't going to believe what is going on....Im so bummed out it is not even funny. I had my surgery (total hyst/bso/appy) Oct 15th. Started hormones Nov 3rd. I was such a mess that I really needed the hormones. I don't regret starting them, but I guess I didn't realize unopposed estrogen could make my endo come back raging full force. Well suprise, suprise, it is back full force. I have 2 masses where my ovaries used to be. They are sure it has re ignited on my bowel and bladder and I am having the exact same pain I had preop. I can't even believe it. I am having more tests done this week. I felt so good for about 8 weeks, and here it is again. They are taking me off the estrogen, which is not anything I ever wanted to do and putting me on some other concoction containing all three of the hormones. estrogen (teeny dose,) progesterone, testosterone (very high dose) to try and attack the endo. The doc says when it comes back like mine has it can be very dangerous. Spreads like cancer she said and can turn cancerous. UGH, Im so bummed.
So that is my news... not something I was hoping for. I hope everyone is doing well, haven't been around much lately, but Im trying to get back here. Just been crazed between work and doc appts again....
Miss you all
