Ugh.... I'm going to go under the knife

I'm a bit agitated over the news... so I'll just post what I sent to my family...
I had my consult with the oncologist today. He indicated that the mass was about the size of a ping pong / golf ball. From the ultrasound report that my OB did, he didn't feel that it would be a malignant cancer. That being said, he told me that the mass would have to be removed and tested to be sure. He is unsure if the mass is attached to my uterus or my ovary.

We discussed the procedure. I will have to go for another ultrasound at the hospital to get a more definitive prognosis. After the ultrasound, we will schedule a surgery to have the mass removed. This will be done by a robotic laparoscopic surgery. During the surgery the mass will be removed and a pathologist will examine the mass to determine what kind of mass it is. Once the pathologist gives their diagnosis, they will decide what needs to be removed. There is a chance that they will remove my ovary if the mass is fused to it or if my ovary is affected significantly. We won't know until the doctor performs the surgery.

The surgery requires overnight stay in the hospital and about a week of bed rest for recovery. I just found out today, so I don't have all of the answers yet. I'm contemplating a few things - including talking with my fertility specialist to see if there's anything I should do given any potential risk to my fertility. Fortunately I have eggs and embryos in the bank - but you never know. I will let you guys know when we have dates scheduled for the procedures. I just wanted to let you guys know.


 FUCK!
