Absolutely bewildered and in shock

Less than one minute read time.

Went for the results of my CT scan to be told there was a nodule still and I would be monitored.  I saw the large melon size one on the right hand side and another about the size of a penny on the left hand side when they were doing my ultra sound scan.   I understood both ovaries and tubes were being taken out........................... so where is this nodule.  Why didnt they take it out when they had me on the operating table.

I am completely shocked and bewildered.  They weren't going to give me the last chemo so I took this as a sure sign that all was well.  I have to go for a blood test in January.  Now I will be worried all the time about this nodule - why couldnt they have taken it our!

Why wasn't I told about this nodule.  I was offered Carboplatin +/- Taxol.  I would definitely have had the Taxol if I had known about the nodule.  The oncologist recommended just the Carboplatin as there was no sign of spreading or cancer cells in the wash.

    I am sorry to hear your news.

    You can't go until January with the worries you have. You must try to get answers from your medical team. Maybe your specialist nurse could help you.

    I wish you all the best

    The medical information can be so bewildering!

    I agree with the others, you must get some answers now, if only for peace of mind.

    I so hope it turns out ok for you, but you need to pursue this, it's not fair to ask you to wait till January for news.

    Best wishes, Christine xx
