I have a tumor on left ovary not sure what kind yet. It's a complex solid cystic tumor measuring 4.4 cm which grew from 3.8 cm in 2 months. Went to OBGYN yesterday having surgery on the 28. He said it doesn't look good that he's afraid it's cancer. Doing a partial hysterectomy with the possibility of a full hysterectomy with radiation & chemotherapy if cancer spread. I have came across your type of tumor while researching. Are you going to have it removed?

@kirstinleigha. Welcome to our support group for gynecological cancers. I imagine that you are pretty frightened after hearing the word "tumor" and worrying whether the tumor is cancer or not.

Have you been diagnosed with a serous borderline ovarian tumor? If so, have you already discussed a treatment plan with your doctor? What questions do you have for your doctor?

Hello I am new here.
I am 24 years old and I had to have my right ovary removed due to a Serous boarderline Tumor.
My surgery was 3 weeks ago and was done by my OBGYN. When he went in for surgery he believed all I had was a cyst But now since the discovery that this was a tumor was a little more serious, I’ve been referred to an gynecologic oncologist and my appointment is next Friday. basically playing the waiting game until my appointment with my new Dr.
I’m happy to be able to connect with people who have been through the same thing as me.
It’s been having a rollercoaster of emotions.
My OBGYN really couldn’t shed light on what the oncologist might recommend, besides blood work.

It's ok lol I am new as well. I didn't even know this Mayo Clinic Connect existed and I think it's so awesome to have because we can get so much insight from others.

No I am having an abdominal surgery not sure why but he wants to do it thru the abdominal

@kirstinleigha Oh, I'm so sorry. I meant to include links to describe what a cancer survivorship plan is.

Thanks for clarifying when your appointment with the gyn oncologist will be. It will be next week on February 17, right?

Hey everyone,
My appointment went well..
All of my questions were answered and my oncologist was amazing!!
During my first surgery there was spillage.
I will be going back in for another surgery to have biopsies done and he will remove my fallopian tube because for some reason the obgyn left the fallopian tube.

Thankfully my nausea comes and goes. It mostly starts up at night, but lately it has been happening more often during the day.

I was diagnosed with borderline serous ovarian tumor stage IIIA2 three months ago. I underwent TAH, cancer staging, tumor debulking, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, peritonectomy. I will have a CT scan and tumor markers every 6 months. Can anyone comment on how they felt physically after surgery. I still feel a lot of pressure on my bladder and physically tired. Abdominal tenderness as well. I don’t know anyone who has had this extensive of a surgery. I would love to hear what others have felt like and what I might expect in the months to come.
