Why cant anything in my life be simple? Is there a big black cloud hanging over my damn head? The doctor read my CT scan. He is almost 100% sure the cysts are Endometrioma's. Endometrioma's are caused by endometriosis. He said if in fact they are enometrioma's I would have stage III endometriosis.
The only way to know for sure is to a biopsy, which they typically do while removing the cysts.
He still want's us to have a consultation with the fertility specialist to see about harvesting my darling little eggs. The Dr still believes he has to remove the left ovary, and is still 50/50 on the right one.
However I found a doctor about four hours away from us who perform's a less invasive surgery for those who still wish to conceive. It involves removing as much of the endomertioma's as he can while preserving the organs.
So I am still in the same spot as I was yesterday. No closer to being pain free or getting prego. I plan to contact the new doctor first thing tomorrow.
Wish me luck.
Good luck Karen. Know I'm thinking about you everyday and hoping for things to work out for you... Love ya!!
ReplyDeleteKaren ~ I know Maryland is quite a ways away but I have the most incredible Gyn-Onc in the world. I went through 4 other doctors before him. He was recommended to me by someone in a similar situation to yours and his plan for her was minimally invasive. His name is DR Neil Rosenshein http://www.mercymed.com/womens/gynecologyCenter/rosenshein.html After an 8 week hospital stay I know him and his staff very well and I can not say enough good things about him or Mercy.
