The Results

Yep, there's a tumor in my left ovary. Though there's no way to tell what it is exactly, the good news is it doesn't look bad on the ultrasound. At least the surface is smooth, unlike the one that was in my right ovary.

My CA-125 is 34.91...... 0.09 u/ml away from breaking the safety zone. We did another blood test of CA-125 this time.

The CTscan also caught this tumor in my left ovary. The report warned that it might be cancerous, but Dr. Liu said the technicians might have over-diagnosed due to my medical history with ovarian cancer. Everything else in my abdominal cavity looked fine, and that was a relief.

The Worst Case Scenario

The doctor informed us of the possibility of having a second-look surgery to examine the tumor. After analyzing a frozen section of it, we'll know exactly what it is. If it's bad, the doctor will perform a total hyterotomy and I'll have to undergo subsequent chemotherapy.

We don't want to rush into having the second-look surgery. For the time being, we'll keep a close eye on the development of the tumor through blood tests and ultrasound every two weeks. I'll be on term break in 6 weeks, and we figured we could have the surgery then if we choose to. I know it's not too bad 'cause Dr. Liu was not nearly as nervous as the time he saw the ultrasound images of my right ovary. And that made me feel a lot better.

Where My Head is Now

I tried to imagine how I'd feel now if I hadn't gone through what I went through and realized there's no need to freak out. Even if it is bad, though it will suck a lot if I have to go through chemotherapy again, at least we'll be better prepared this time around. Worrying about it won't make it go away anyway.
