First....10 vials of blood drawn. 10 VIALS! Happy to say, that although I am WAY dehydrated, everything there looked normal.
Second...Anesthesia. If I could walk around with a permanent IV drip of Versed, then I would be one happy camper!
Third...Doctor. This was the kicker. Could be I go home the same day, but chances are, will be there 3 days. Could have an up and down incision or side by side incision. Could need a bowel resection. Might have lymph nodes removed. Possible to have cancer. Definitely having out both ovaries. Hmmmmmm....do I pack a bag or not for the hospital??
Fourth...more blood drawn. Yes, that's correct. Another vial. They never did test my blood levels for ovarian cancer (hitting myself on the head). Of course, this could be an indicator, but may not be an indicator.
So, what did I learn? NOTHING!
PS. My doc just called to let me know my levels were low for cancer indicator. What does this mean? She is feeling much better about my ovaries, but those darn parts could still be cancer!
PPS. She is being really nice to me. I wonder if my divorce attorney talked to her...we use the same one.
