Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 We received the results of 's ultrasound. They said that she has a cyst in or on her left ovary. They were pretty positive that it wasn't cancerous which is good news. They also performed a CEA125 test which showed her at 12. According to the doctors anything under 34 is normal. She has had some spot bleeding and the doctors said that she also has an area of fluid there. They say that it is all due to the cyst. We'll go in on November 7th for a consultation with a surgeon as they want to perform a Laproscopy to further investigate it and to remove it if they deem it necessary. This didn't thrill in the slightest as I explained to her (from what I've read) what they will do. Her response was " Oh NO! they're going to cut me again? " She said that she didn't want them cutting her again. I told her that when we go see the surgeon that we'll see what the options are then. If they do not believe that it will heal itself up on its own and medication won't take care of it then there aren't a whole lot of choices. They say that it isn't that extensive of a surgery. They will make two small incisions in her abdomen and actually blow air into her abdomen to increase the size so they can see better. Then they will go in with the scope and look at it. If they feel it needs to be removed they will do so. According to the nurse that I spoke with she said it is a in and out surgery. We'll keep everyone posted as to what we do and the results.
