Welcome @imr. I believe that both @tamcbart and @cpl have had surgery for GCT and can share their experiences.

IMR, can you share a bit more about you? Is this a new diagnosis for you? Has surgery been recommended?

Hi,
I had surgery two weeks ago. Figo 1a
No chemo recommended as no metastases was found, however will have surveillance testing done twice a year to keep an eye on inhibin and CA125. Followup is next week and I have tons of questions for my gyn/oncologist. She is amazing and had to remove the tumor from three blood vessels that it had wrapped itself around. (I was in surgery over 5 hrs.) I am still very sore — feel bruised and wearing a bra is complete misery. If anyone has alternative suggestions, please share.
I’m happy to discuss with anyone here. Also, my surgery was done at a small teaching hospital in VA, not one of the larger hospital systems.
