Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hi Tess, I'm very happy to hear that there's no evidence of cancer. I know that you are nervous about the upcoming procedure. I would be too. I am still having some probs in that area too. I told my gyne about some pain that I was having and he ordered some tests. They showed an ovarian cyst. Pretty common. He said that it was too small to really do anything about and that they usually dissolve on their own. Basically it was an egg that didn't release properly, so it was stuck in the ovary and would take care of itself. Anyway, I told him that I wanted my tubes ties anyway and he said that he could do an exploratory while he was in there. I told him that if he found anything wrong, to just remove the whole thing, as I was done with it anyway. LOL. He just laughed at me. Well after the surgery, he told me that everything looked just fine and that the cyst had dissolved. See, I can't even pay someone to get rid of the darned thing. It is still giving me a lot of pain, but they say that there is nothing wrong. It is the cysts. I have to go back in January for my annual appt and plan on seeing if there is anything that can possibly get rid of this pain. There are some other symptoms too, but I really don't want to get into that here. Then with the hormonal changes that are causing the breast discharge problem that I talked about earlier......they think that they are all related to hormones. Maybe I just need a GOOD man to take care of all these extra hormones. LOL!!!!! Boy, that was a long story. I think I need to take a break after all that!!!!!! I hope that the procedure goes well and that you don't have too much pain with it. I can't tell you not to worry, because I would worry, and you will too. Just know that I love you dearly and I will be praying for you. Let me know when the procedure is scheduled and keep us all informed. Love You Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 This is so strange. I just went to my OB/GYN yesterday and was supposed to have a HYSTEROSONOGRAM. Unfortunately, they were not able to insert the catheter after three painful tries. The doc did find a large solid mass with the regular ultrasound and I am supposed to have a Hysteroscopy and D & C also. Then I will have to have the mass removed at another time because it is too much for the body all at once. They will do a biopsy though. I agree it is very scary. Now I know where the low back pain comes from! My doc didn't seem to think the hysteroscopy was a big deal and said that I would be home the same day. I just want to make sure they give me something so I don't know what is going on or feel any pain. It sounds like you have a good doctor that you trust and that helps a great deal. Keep your mind busy and try not to be scared. They do these procedures all the time. I don 't know my doctor very well but she seems to care. I will be having the procedure done in the next few weeks also so I will watch for info on your progress. Good luck with it. JB [ ] procedure Hi...My gyn called today...she is really sweet...the pathology report shows no evidence of cancer. However, she said the report said there was some unusual blood in the sample, so she is having them do a double check. What her biggest concern is that even though I am on Depo-Provera shots, the lining of my uterus continues to thicken, and she wants to make sure no cancerous/precancerous polyps are hiding in the thick lining. Therefore, she is scheduling me for a hyster...golly, I CAN NOT get the name right...hyterostomy, hysterol...eeek...it will be under IV sedation & cervical numbing..they will go in and examine every inch of my uterus, and follow it with a D & C. She wants it done in the next few weeks. She called my PCP, who called me and said to come in next Tuesday for a fasting pre-op. I am really grateful for physicians who really care, and I am a little scared now. Guess that's normal. Lots of mixed emotions whirling about. Please keep me in your prayers. I love you all...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hi JB, My Dr. talked about a hysterosonogram, but because of my weight/size, she felt it would be very difficult to do and perhaps not give us the information we are seeking. I had a benign mass the size & shape of a football on my right ovary and fallopian tube, which they removed in 1990. It does seem these conditions & procdures are more common than I ever thought! Keep me posted & I'll do the same. Love & Hugs & Hope... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Absolutely do not let your plastic surgeon take them out this way. This is a sure fire way to have the contents of the implants spilled into your chest, and he will not be taking out the scar tissue, which is full of silicone.
