i have adhesions. Had all my life. 22 major surgeries. just had a
pelvic ultra sound done and they found a mass with a lesion. The
radiologist report states: an ovary with a lesion and my small bowels
filled with unknown substance.
Well, I had a radical hysterectomy 5 years age. I have no ovaries. Went
to my GYN today, showed her the films with the mass and told me that
when i had my hysterectomy done and I was loaded with adhesions, if they
just left a tiny portion of tissue (which was very possible) that I
could have grown another ovary.
she did blood work, said it would take 3 days to return to see if I have
ovarian cancer.
the pain is now unbearable and it takes me 30 minutes every morning to
move my bowels and it is very painful.
She said it could be either adhesions causing the pain in my inyestines
or I do have an ovarie and it may be cancerous.
I am just beside myself after getting this news.
After 4 specialists and CT's and 3 ultra sounds, no one knows what is
wrong with me and I am getting sicker.
Is ovarian canc3er curable? If I even have it. And has anyone else had
anything similar to what I have described?
I would appreciate any input from anyone right now. I'm really stressed
bad over this.
Thanks for reading. God Bless!

I have the same problem. i had A CT Scan without contrast, i am allergic to the dye, and a mass was found. It was not attached to anything, as i've had a radical hysterectomy 5 years ago. but this last pelvic ultra sound, done after drinking those two bottles of sulfate,
outlined the same mass, but this time, the mass looks as if it is in the small bolel, also.
I am very concerned at this point. i am being sent to me GYN for a smear. my family doc suspects cancer, but is not very worried because it has not attached very far.
whatever this means.
So, i feel your worry and I, too, have very bad pain, and have to
rock back and forth everytime
i have a bowel movement.
I sure wish someone would tell me something soon.
I pray a lot, and will also for all of you out there suffering and concerned.
God Bless
