Met with the OB/GYN again today. I had to wait a little while because he was at a delivery in the hospital next door. He had very concerning news to give me and had a hard time getting it out. They found a tumor on my left ovary and it is fairly substantial in size. Based on the ultrasound report it had fluid in it as well as some vascular portions that were concerning. He also said that the blood test had elevated levels that could indicate cancer - but could also be a result of other things. He then encouraged me to get an appointment with a gynecelogical oncologist because studies have shown that if this is cancer, the outcome is much improved if treated by a specialist.

He sent me back out to the receptionist to set up an appointment with a specialist ASAP. He recommended a group that works out of St. Mark's, so once we found that my insurance covers them I set up an appointment for the following Tuesday (the soonest they could get me in).

I was pretty okay emotionally at this point, but once I got back to my car I had a little cry before I headed back home. My husband was already home whe I got there and he jokingly said to me, "So, you've got cancer?". Unfortunately that was not the right thing to say at the time, so I naturally broke out in tears...
