Cat scan with contrast would show if their were a tumor and if it were ocalized or in any adjacent organs. . The hysterectomy if done laparoscopically is really not a bad operation. I was amazed at how well it went. I feel much better after getting the uterus and ovaries removed. My spotting was not non stop but intermittent. It is so nice to longer see it or be looking for it. Good luck to you and God bless you.
