Well, I had a ct scan on the 5th and the Dr said the tumor growing on my abdomen appears to be benign. I'm scheduled to have it removed on Feb. 15th. and he'll study it some more to see exactly what it is. I want to get this over with as quickly as possible. I guess I'm rushing to get this over with cause I'm scheduled for my TT and BBl in march. It's looking like I may have to postpone everything until I get my results and both Dr's approved me to go forward with getting my body repaired. Feeling kind of down about that but my health is more important.
I hope everyone is enjoying the New year so far and for some of you the "New You" as well. I'll keep yall posted.

So I had surgery a year and a half ago to remove a nodule from my abdominal wall. It was located near my c-section scar and started out about the size of a pea. I was told it was old scar tissue until it grew the size of a golf ball. I had a biopsy done and it turned out to be a rare case of endometriosis caused by the c-section. Sad to say it's back! I talked to Dr J about it and he suggested I have it reexamined to make sure its been completely removed so there wouldn't be any surprises during surgery.
Well I did yesterday and the Dr I saw specializes in removal of soft tissue masses and wants to completely remove the harden area he felt and then do a biopsy. He said he wants to take the area out to make sure all is well and any good Dr would because they wouldn't want it to spread during sx. He told me the medical term for spreading but I don't remember. The Dr was also concerned at the fact of it coming back and continually asked was I told it was benign. I was, thank God for that. So I signed the release form to have my records sent to the new MD to get this sx and biopsy done.
I'm not nervous at all. I just hate that I have to go through this again. And puzzled at the fact of me not having endometriosis anywhere else so why is it on my abdomen? I did have my sister was there with me and was asking more questions than I was. I love her and truly thank her for her support.
The sx will take an hour to do under general anesthesia and I can go home the same day. I have to go to a follow up appt. before the procedure is done for insurance purposes which is Dec. 14th. Then I have the choice of getting it removed before or after Christmas. I'm thinking of going before, I like to get things done and out of the way.
Well ladies that's what has been going on with me. How have you all been?

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Will u have to postpone ur surgery with Dr. J?

Hey Nat7080...So far I don't know if I'll have to postpone or not. It all depends on what this biopsy reveals. I hope I won't have to but health first.

I hate delays.....It sounds like the are being cautious and going about it the right way.... This may give you time to settle on your PS and other avenues....

Yeah I 'm being cautious cause endometriosis is painful and to have it spread would be a nightmare. I still want Dr J to be my PS but if it'll be best to have my TT locally and postpone my BBL then that's what I'll do.
