I have recently had a diagnosis of a granulosa cell tumour that ruptured around 7 weeks ago and was removed in surgery and have been advised to undergo a full  hysterectomy and left ovary removal ( I have already had my right ovary removed and fallopian tubes 7 weeks ago ) .

However I have since found out I'm pregnant Disappointed and there is no information out there I can find relating to a pregnancy after a ruptured gct and how pregnancy can effect this.

I am aware there will be people with a gct diagnosis who have gone on to have children but I'm looking specifically for someone who has a ruptured gct and then fell pregnant after and information on what there consultant advised etc.

I have spoke to my consultant and she said there is 5 people in the world that she can gain literature on that has been in this situation.

I know this is highly unlikely but is there anyone else that has experienced this on this site Fingers crossedFingers crossed

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community.

    This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated Ovarian Cancer Support Group.

    This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support. To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….

             Ovarian cancer

    ……. and once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.

    You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.

    You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.

    The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.

    We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.

    Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.

    Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
