it ain't no baby... it's a monster

For someone coming in the middle of all this... well confusing I suppose.
quick recap:
After I had my baby I went in for postpartum visit and complained of abdominal pain. After an ultrasound they ordered an MRI with contrast dye. Then a CA 125, another ultrasound, then AFP-serum tumor marker, Quantitative HCG and LDH. Only the AFP was elevated, and I don't know what it means other than I suddenly MUST have surgery by the cancer specialists, rather than a reg doctor to have the mass removed.

I asked for a print out of the last ultrasound I had. The tech looked at me like I was crazy. Well heck, it ain't no baby but I still made it. :) It shows multiple cysts surrounding a mixed tissue mass. The combined mass is about 7-8 cm in three dimensions. A normal ovary is about 1-2cm. The MRI couldn't distinguish my ovary from all the other stuff. Looks like I will be loosing that one.

I have my surgery consult next wed and hopefully the surgery after that and the end of the month. I feel a lot better knowing that finally we seem to be getting somewhere... at least so far as getting this pain causing mass out of me.
