What a journey - third opinion of an oncologist
Went to meet up our oncologist friend at his office. He looked at the pathology reports and CT scan results. He gave me a few advice, one of them is to check out the colon and if possible the whole digestive tract. Since both the gynecologists suggested that I check out the colon, I am going ahead for a colonoscopy and gatroscopy this coming Tuesday on the 22nd.
The second gynecologist and our oncologist friend thinks removing the left ovary (like the first gynecologist Dr Eugene suggested) is a bit too drastic when there is no evidence of malignancy. He thinks further screening to rule out other possibilities and close monitoring of the hard cells on the left ovary plus tumor marker tests every other month would be more appropriate.
This is going like a roller coaster ride, one minute I am convinced that going for another surgery to remove the left ovary is the best thing to do, the next minute, it seems there is really nothing to worry about. Of course, I pray that all these are just false alarms, a cancer scare, instead of the real stuff!!
Hi Leah,
I am sorry to ‘read’ about ur operation! Hope all is well with you! Are you still in Malaysia?
Yes, still here due to the surgery and all this screening tests.
Leah, just read your previous posts about the surgery and now this. I do hope it is a false alarm. I’ll pray for you and do update us. Take care Leah.
I hope it’s just false alarm too. TQ for offer of prayers.
