I am new to this group and in the process of finding out if my 16cm tumour is malignant or not.
I was told when it was initially found that it highly likely it is, but the main issue is that the doctors can't seem to be sure where it is coming from - 2 different departmental MDT meetings later and no further forward.
My doctor has said that I shouldn't worry as if it was malignant, the hospital would have acted to remove it by now - wherever it is coming from. However, I'm not convinced and it's worrying me.
They haven't done a biopsy but it was after the MRI that they said it looked malignant - ORAD 5 high risk or something on the report. Presumably given the size too, it would seem likely to be cancer, wouldn't it?
My abdomen now feels so sore and bruised. The nausea is getting worse. All my bloods are normally apparently so no sign of infection. I suppose it's the tumour pressing down is it?
After treatment, do most people have to take medication for a period of time to prevent the cancer returning or does it depend on its location?
