My daughter was scheduled to have a large fibroid removed but was in alot of pain so I called the doctor to up her surgery date. When he went in he found that it was a very rare malignant tumor 15 cm called dysgerminoma. She also had to have one ovary and tube removed, however she did not have any chemo/radiation or anything but markers were placed and they have been doing blood work every 2 months and then 6 months. However I question why blood work because when they thought it was a fibroid her blood work never showed anything. She has had many UTIs since and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any blood work that would detect this? Very nervous, yes she has been 3 years cancer free, or at least we think so.
