@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?

Hi Helen thank you for responding. Yes I was diagnosed with serous boarderline tumor. I shared my story down below. I have several questions for my doctor

I found out my family history-
Father-had kidney removed because of cancer, grandmother had breast cancer twice and full hysterectomy
Mother-never goes to the doctor but says she’s never had any problems

1.)Will I have any blood work screening done?
2.)Genetic testing?
3.)How often is there reoccurrence? How can I help this not to come back?
4.)Why did the palopian tube get left behind?
5.)Am I going to need treatment?
6.)The pathology report says there was spillage during surgery is anything done about that?

That is the only questions I’ve got so far
