I had ovarian n uterus cancer, my CA-125 level was 989.9 n I didn't know I had it til I had pains like labor and my stomach looked like I was 9months pregnant.. had a 9lb tumor on LEFT ovary n it rooted n grew like an octopus n wrapped around my uterus n pulling it to the LEFT. 4months had past til Drs took it out.. went to several hospitals but NO hospitals have ob/gyn. I kept getting sent back home. N e way. After surgery is when Dr told me I had ovarian and uterus cancer n told me that I had 85% left n she said ok bye. Have a good day.. I was petrified. Now Drs say I have lesions on my left kidney n nodules in my lungs.. is this cancer had spread.. I had a very complicated surgery n they didn't take out my lymph nodes n I woke up n Sat up in surgery..( I told Dr I wake up but she said I wont.) I had coded after almost 8 hours of surgery n 7 quarts of fluid n they gave me the wrong insuline.. n also my blood pressure went up and my sugar went up ( high diabetic already ). I wind up in ICCU. That was a Tuesday n I woke up on the Friday. N was thrown out of hospital that same day.. I woke up at 415pm n was told about cancer at 425pm Dr the surgeon n then she called the nurse in n started packing my bags. I asked her where am I going she said I was being discharged.. they threw me out Friday after working hours. The transported told me this is wrong n unusual. Somethings NOT right. I was sent to a nursing home.n still gave me wrong insulin.. I was on my insulin for 14 yrs.. it's ALL in my medical file..how could they NOT know.what ever U do DONT go to Abington hospital in PA.. they will kill U...

Cancer and spreading. ??
I had 7- hour surgery and woke up 3 days later. I stayed in hospital for 12 days. Your experience sounds just awful.
What was the name of th Dr and hospital? I live near Scranton Pa. How the heck does this happen? They tell you that you have cancer and release you and send you on your way. I would sue the dr and hospital. I’m sorry this has happened to you.
It was at Abington hospital. N I can't remember Drs name at the moment .. it was a woman Dr. I tell u this whole closing of the ob/gyn department's in hospitals needs to change.. the surgeon was very disrespectful n inconsiderate of my feelings n my emotions.. I went thru much more then that in the hospital n the nursing home I wind up going thru some things I wouldn't wish on n e 1. I had a patient in nursing home teach me how to use the wheel chair n from there i managed to move about.. i was actually starving in there n they kept givinbg me that wrong insulin n my roomate an old lafy very very sick saved me by calling nurse.. i told her for emergencies what to do n what i needed.. i saw myself fading slowly n my vision going blurry n going out as i was moving n talking in slow motion... orange juice with sugar i needed.. n fast.. 1 medical assistant gave me a 4oz cup i told her i need more ( trying to speak ) she wouldnt move.. n well she came back n i swallowed it fast n used my hands to tell her to get more as so did the old lady told her. When I came to... I told her .. u should know ur patients medical history in their charts... n in emergent u need to move ur ass fucking fast.. n know what to do.. n I told her I'm not taking this wrong insulin u r trying to kill me n I can't eat unless I have the right insulin ... So in result I had to starve . N drink fluids... a lot of water.. n try to learn how to walk n move again with out falling n as soon as I did I left..... I went into the hospital in late summer n came home in winter.. n everyday I cried n wish I was dead cuz of such pain I was going thru n had Drswho did NOT listen to me about my body n didn't do their job right cuz of them .. my body has cancer spreading cuz surgeon didn't take out my lymph nodes that had cancer cuz I coded on operating table.. n went to ICCU.. her mistakes so she covered them up by throwing me out of hospital... n my medicine orders followed with me to nursing home where I had coded a few more times.. they told me yes ur insulin is humilin i said yes .. i ask if i can c the bottle.. it was the wrong bottle again .. i take 75/25 .. this medical assistant gave me 100. N that was way way to strong for me.. i told her im not taking it.. she said just thisc1 time u will b ok... i said NO!!!! R u sick in the head i will code again n die cuz of ur mistakes...
So NOW I DONT trust that hospital n will never ever go back n as for the nursing home one of the night nurses told me they should of been shut down long ago... n said that they do alot wrong there all the time... that was chapel manor nursing home.
I will NOT get n e more surgeries ever.. if they can do radiation I'll do that if NOT I guess it's my fate to go then... it's crazy when ur under anesthesia n know what's going on n can hear feel n move n the Drs swear it won't happen again... so they give u more meds .. n they just make it where u can't show emotions n movements but u feel every cut n pull n hear everything n how they look at ur private parts n ur overal body n shame u...
I believe there's a special place in he-- for people like that. And what goes around , comes around.
So sorry but I just had to say those things. and so sorry you're so sick and getting horrible care. Just make sure you ask each time what meds they're giving you, especially if you don't recognize them. And I hate to say it and I've never done it and should have several times, but this sounds like a law suit if I ever heard one. Get a lawyer immediately.
Many blessings , Eileen
Debulking is a huge surgery since they have to check everything in your abdominal cavity since the ovaries are open to the entire abdomen. I didn't blow up and look pregnant until I was stage 4 something. I'm sad that they didn't answer your questions and take better care of you. I would check with a doctor who will check your CA-125 (but not everyone has elevated CA-125 and it can be elevated for other reasons). You need to see a different doctor though if this one is not answering questions.
