Anyone else been diagnosed with a borderline ovarian tumor?
Two years ago, I underwent a hysterectomy to remove an 11cm tumor on my left ovary, and all the markers pointed to cancer. After my surgery, results showed I had a borderline tumor. Thus I did not need chemo or radiation. I go in every six months for blood work and scans for further tumor development. I am tumor free thus far. Has anyone else been diagnosed with a borderline tumor? I am curious as there is not a lot of information about them.
Thank you!!

My surgery is Tuesday and I'm so scared for what they will find. It's giving me anxiety & I already take anxiety medicine 😪 I pray u find out some good news your surgery will be a day or 2 after mine I will be sure to let u know what I find out. It definitely is scary and I know how u feel. The closer Tuesday gets here the more scared I get!

Yes still having problem after the surgery.
I agree, I think something was missed. Thank God I’m with an oncologist who know what he is looking at.
I’ll keep ya posted, and if you feel up to it, let me know how your surgery goes!
And that's even after the surgery? Wonder if it's because they didn't get everything out
Yes ma'am I sure will & thanks for the the chat. 🤗

Thankfully my nausea comes and goes. It mostly starts up at night, but lately it has been happening more often during the day.
@candybeason45
When they found my tumor it was because I was in the ER throwing up and diarrhea. It was found on accident during a scan.
I believe my imaging showed up as a complex, solid cyst as well.
It also said it was possible blood was not flowing to my ovary.
It was painful.
Hang in there!!
I know it is scary , knowing that is there. But take it easy if possible, until your surgery 🙂

1 ReactionNo nausea I have really bad hip pain on the side the tumor is on but not sure if it's from that. I had an MRI done to see what's causing my hip pain and that's when the tumor was found. I would hate to be nauseous for years. That has to be awful. Hopefully this will be your last surgery. Ive had 3 because of c sections and now this will be my forth beaches cutting me along the scars I already have 😪 I am scared because I don't know what I'm going to wake up to. I have googled so much to see what complex solid cystic even is like what kind of tumor it has lead me to ovarian cancer and all kinds of stuff . 😪

Good glad you got some relief.
I had a serous borderline tumor. Guess I shouldn’t say had, my oncologist wants to check and make sure there isn’t more .
I hope this second surgery that is coming up will be my last surgery for a long long time.
Do you have nausea as a symptom?
I have been having nausea for several years, and I just want to find the cause.
I’ll get a pain behind my belly button and then it hurts in my lower back
