Sqad... Just A Quickie?

[Bbbananas]

I googled borderline ovarian mucinous cystic adenoma on Wikipedia. I am concerned that one sentence says that borderline cases has a 10 year survival rate of 60%. Now I am confused cos I thought my GP meant that they were basically non-cancerous, whereas wikipedia intimates they are a form of ovarian cancer.

Could you advise me?

Morning.
I am no expert but I do know that an adenoma is a BENIGN tumour XX

[anneasquith]

sally........sqad no disrespect. I think the best course of action is to discuss your results with your surgeon,

[mrs_overall]

....and stop looking on Wiki!

[albaqwerty]

Stop googling Salla!!

Please. xxxx

I know Anne! But couldn't resist having a peek. It does clash with what my GP said, so I will wait to see my consultant,

[anneasquith]

when do you see your doc. ?

[Bbbananas]

I don't know yet. My GP rang me yesterday with the histology report, I haven't heard from my consultant yet.

[jno]

can't see anything wrong with googling symptoms, myself. By and large you shouldn't take an online opinion over your own doctor's, but no harm educating yourself where you can.

[anneasquith]

you could phone the consultants secretary, and ask if/when you may get an out patients appointment

[Bbbananas]

I will do Anne. Or else I will be thinking that yesterday's celebrations were a tad premature.

[Sqad]

I often have issues with on-line medicine.

This is a decision made by a Pathologist on the basis of borderline grading...yes, your tumour is regarded as "benign" because it has a 10 year survival of 99.5%..........can't truly call it benign as it does not have a 100% survival.

Did not want to mention it on yesterday's thread as i would have been accused of "p1ssing on the parade."

Your tumour, depending upon it 's "borderline grading", is as benign as an "borderline" tumour can be.

Does that help salla?

[Sqad]

jno

\\\\can't see anything wrong with googling symptoms, myself.\\\

That depends upon whether you have the right symptom.....

[Bbbananas]

Sort of sqad, thanks. I guess my announcement of all-clear no-cancer was a bit premature. Better wait and see what my consultant says.
:-(

[Sqad]

salla.....no it isn't ;-(...........it is almost certainly...:-)

C'mon salla. Let me know the staging.

[anneasquith]

let me know the staging ?

[Bbbananas]

I don't have any staging yet. My GP got the result verbally over the phone to the Lab yeaterday, the full paper report isn't through yet - I have just spoken to him.

[Bbbananas]

I have an appointment with my consultant this Friday morning. So not long to wait.

[Sqad]

salla....when i said let me know the staging, i meant when you knew it..;-)

[Bbbananas]

Will do - this Friday hopefully when I have seen the Big Man x

[murraymints]

Salla ! Xx was just asking on my other thread about you...hope it goes well Friday...agree stop reading things !!!
