Hello everyone, need your advice. I have been having severe upper and lower abdominal pain, heavy clotting periods, and extreme exhaustion.

Went to OB, pap came back normal, bloodwork was good no anemia. Then she ordered a vaginal ultrasound because I had prior small cysts and fibroids. After about 10 minutes the tech excused herself and went a got the doc. She confirmed a dermoid and said it had to be removed, then she took me in and gave me a uterine biopsy and a CA-125 test, and a CT scan. Results were on left ovary was a 6.6 cm mass, and behind that is a 3.6 cm cyst on same ovary. Also, abnormal cells in uterine lining from biopsy, and CA -125 of a 38. She wants to just remove mass by laproscopic surgery, and treat cells with Provera 10mg, for 3 months to see if cells are gone. I'm almost 40, had tubes tied years ago. Should I just have a complete hysterectomy, or just get mass and cyst out?

Hi Anna. You will get good advice from your medical team . As a support site the ladies here can comment on their experiences and treatments. What we can't give you is medical advice. Perhaps talk to one of the Ovacome Team by phone. I'd advise you to talk to your doctors about this question. Wishing you all the best x Trish

I would suggest asking your GP for a second opinion from a Gynaecologist who specialises in Cancer .
