Day 21ish: The Change in Trajectory

A possible light

So, got to see the gynecologic oncologist (which is also the surgeon). She gave me some good news. She doesn’t think it is cancer. It definitely has to come out, though.

Also, I’ve named the mass Bob. And Bob is an asshole. But I have an eviction date for Bob. December 31st!

They’re going to go in laparoscopically at first, remove Bob, then send him to pathology while I’m still under. They’re going to find out WHAT Bob is (she’s not 100% sure what he is, but she thinks maybe an infected ovary due to having inflammation and a 22k white count, but cancer and precancerous is still possible). So, what they’ll do is remove the fallopian tubes, the ovary Bob is attached to, Bob, of course, and my uterus. If it is cancerous or precancerous, the other ovary comes out too.

So, best case scenario, Bob is just an annoying infection or something else benign. I really appreciate everyone’s support, because even if it isn’t cancer, it’s still a big problem, and may be the source of all my symptoms.

I do also see the hematologist here to check on what the iron infusions did and talk about that. So that’s not something I’m looking forward to since the infusions didn’t seem to help much.

But anyway, a light in the darkness, as they say. :)
