Anyone else been diagnosed with a borderline ovarian tumor?

Posted by EW @ew62, Sep 3, 2022

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!!

Hello, I am 58 yrs old and diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumor, stage 1C2. I had remaining ovary removed one week ago (total hysterectomy in 2017 to remove everything, but kept one ovary) which had been causing lots of pain for the past 2 months. Gynecologist recommends CA-125 test in 3 months and if all is well, then no further follow up. I'm not really satisfied with this level of follow up and seeking a second opinion. I want to consult with a knowledgeable expert on these tumors and have some resource for follow up if any future issues arise. Thanks to all of you ladies for posting your experiences, as it is very helpful.

I know it's been awhile since your post but I am curious to know if you got a second opinion and what happened? I also have a diagnosis of borderline tumors on both ovaries after a bilateral Salpingo oopherectomy. Last month. My case was reviewed at our Cancer center in a major city in Canada and I am waiting to discuss the report with my gynecologist but was told by the nurse at the centre that they would not be doing any follow-up other than a CT scan and regularly checks with my gynecologist. It seems a little premature to make that prognosis before I've had the CT scan even.I too I'm not 100% happy with this and wonder if I should look for a second opinion somewhere. I would have at least appreciated a consult with an oncology gynecologist so they could explain more about these tumours. Hope all has gone well with you. Thanks in advance.
