Hi,
I had a 15x15cm malignant mass removed on 8th Feb. The origin is not entirely clear as the biopsy was inconclusive however CA125 was 256 and CA19-908 prior to surgery.
The sarcoma and gynae team were discussing my case and gynae were asked if chemo would be started prior to surgery but the decision was made that the tumour needed to come out.
They did advise after the surgery that they were unable to locate the right ovary and referred to it as “neoplasm of the right ovary” on the discharge letter.
So can I ask, knowing the above, is it likely that I will need further treatment following the surgery?
Presumably it is likely to be chemo?
If so, how soon am I likely to commence this treatment? What is the average wait time or is there a certain timeframe within with I can expect to commence?
