Date: 01/25/2008
I had post menopausal bleeding, was referred to an OB/GYN Oncologist, who informed me I needed a TAHBSO, I had the surgery on 12/28/07 and he discovered Ovarian Granulosa carcinoma. He received the pathology back and he said that it was 'slow growing, I had it for 'years' and they had to 'grade' it something so they gave it a 1A, though he felt it was less than that, 1A is the lowest you can be staged. He said it was well differentiated, no atypia, all nodes came back negative, all peritoneal washings negative, the cancer was isolated to one ovary, and it was entirely contained within the ovary. He said the surgery was the 'cure'. However I have to go every 3 months for an Inhibin B and a CA125 blood tests, a pelvic every 3 months as well and a pet scan every 6mos. I do this for 2 years, then if there are no issues they advance the time between all of these tests. My concern is all that I have read . . .he said my prognosis is excellent and no further treatment will be required . . . there are alot of issues it seems with Granulosa, reoccurances etc . . . should i be as concerned as I am?
