gynormous
we were able to take out the most gynormous pair of ovaries that you can imagine. we also collected 20 liters of fluid from her belly. the badness was just everywhere. we also found possible colon cancer. the general surgeons had to be called in to resect that part. i had to leave for church so i don't know how the additional surgery went. but i hope that she is doing well. i'll be seeing her first thing in the morning. a month ago she was just blissfully going through life when she noticed her leg swelling up. she also complained of tightness in her abdomen. two weeks ago, she got a CT scan and bilateral ovarian masses were seen. she was referred to the clinic and i took her history just last monday. we ordered some labs and her surgery was scheduled soon after we received the results. ovarian cancer typically just sneaks up on you. her long journey of surviving the badness is just beginning.
