Could not get back on here,finally figured it out

[Petuniasue]

Sorry for not replying,I could not figure out . I made replys on my last post. Thank you ladies so much for the comments. I am still waiting,they said my test should be back the 28th. Also my CA was 32,and he is saying the BRCA will give him some direction on rather or not to take my other ovary if it's ok he will still take it if I am positive for this gene. Also he wanted to feel safe that he can do this surgery. He is talking now laparoscopic and bagging it so it does not go into my system and spread cells if it's malignant. He said he can't determine if it's benign or not. He is thinking that it has a good possibility of benign but can't guarantee. He is taking my appendix as well. My belly is bloated I look pregnant and the fatigue is crazy and I do not want food. Symptoms have been going on for a long time but the constant bloat and loss of appetite and nausea prob about 6months. I am believing it is just fine and God has this either way. And I am praying for all the ladies going through this and going through treatment. This is scary and I am just starting to think maybe we need a second opinion. As I am typing I am having pain. What's odd is the numbness that's goes down my leg into my foot at times and the hip and back pains. He said it's the size of a tennis ball. So I am guessing all the symptoms come from this. Also some times I feel as if I am getting a stomach bug and my belly with ache like that and then it goes. Just prayers please and I am praying for all. 40 to me seems young for OVC,but what I have read it's not as abnormal as I thought.

40, as you've discovered, is not too young for OC, but how sure are you that the pain you describe, and the numbness going down to your foot, is actually due to the growth? Because there could be another cause altogether - your lower back. I often get pain down my left leg, such that bending the knee is difficult, and sometimes accompanied by numbness and tingling right to the foot. It feels like I've got a bad knee, but it isn't, its caused by my lumbar spine, which has become damaged over the years due to physical labour. Numbness down the leg and into the foot, with pain, is also a classic description of sciatica, so ask your doctors if it could be musculo-skeletal trouble rather than your growth causing the pain.
