Frustrated!
Guess whose cyst/tumor has come back already?! Yep, that would be me. How in the heck is this possible? I had been having some similiar feelings and while I kept trying to convince myself that I was crazy and there was no way possible something had grown back already, I knew in the back of my mind that I wouldn't be able to rest until I got it checked out. I called the Dr. and left it up to them if they thought I should come in now or wait until my October appointment. The new Dr. (the regular ob/gyn, not the oncologist) said that it wouldn't hurt just to go ahead and get another ultrasound to see if anything was going on. Went for my appointment today and sure enough the stupid thing is there!!! Same ovary - already an inch with debris inside. This was the information that the tech could give me at this point. The report has to be sent off to be officially read and then the Dr. will call to let me know how we need to proceed from here. I know that it needs to come out - of course it needs to come out. If it has grown an inch in the short time since my surgery, how big would it get if we left it? I am really hoping that the oncologist may have lied about the next surgery being "open surgery" and that maybe, just maybe, she will be able to get it laprascopically. I don't know - just have to wait and see at this point. Just very frustrating!
I would also hate to see what the bill for an laparatomy would be as the laprascopic surgery I had come to $14,500 Eesh! Needless to say, thank goodness for insurance (even my out of pocket max will be met by the time all of this is said and done).

OMG, I am so sorry. I hope you don't have to have open surgery and so soon. I will be thinking about you!
Chantelle, this totally SUCKS! You are in my thoughts! Hopefully, they won't have to do an open surgery!
Ugh! So sorry to hear that! Keeping my fingers crossed for no open surgery!
