abnormal cells in ovary

I promised myself I wouldn’t panic and I wouldn’t start looking on the internet but …
I’m 53 and had my ovaries removed about 6 weeks ago and was told while I was still woozy from anaesthetic that everything looked OK, no follow up needed. To precis long boring story of me trying to find out the histology results the Registrar phoned yesterday and said he didn’t have my history (family history of ovarian cancer) but ovary histology said fluid, cyst (which i knew about) piece of fallopian tube attached and lining had abnormal cells. The abnormal cells are benign. Okey dokey I thought. I’ve now made the mistake of looking up abnormal cells and read about borderline tumours …Borderline tumours are not true cancers because they rarely spread into deeper layers of tissue (invade). They are growths made up of abnormal cells which may become cancer. But most do not. They form in the covering of the ovary and usually grow in a slow and controlled way.

and I’m now panicing and don’t know what to do. Registrar said he was going to check with gynae team and he’d write but nothing to worry about. Do you think I should speak to my BC nurse or maybe my GP? I guess I can’t do anything until I’ve got the letter. Has anyone else had resul;ts like this?

littlemrs,
I don’t want to scare you but will just say what happened to me. I already have secondary BC in bones. I had a scan last December which showed an enlarged ovary which they said was BC spread, although the Gyno wasn’t so sure and thought it might be ovarian cancer. After a hyterectomy it turned out to be BC spread and my abdominal lymph nodes were up to add to that they thought it had spread to my liver. I had chemo and after treatment had a scan which showed nodes were ok and that it was never in my liver, just a cyst apparently. I’m now feeling very well and back at work, so even if it seems pretty awful at the time you will come through it.
Love Claire

Thanks Claire for replying.I’m glad you are feeling ok and have been able to get back to work.
It seems odd the registrar phoned me wiothout any info on my history or family history. I was advised to have my ovaries removed as I’ve had several cysts post menopause (i was shunted into post menopause by chemo) which are “unusual”. I feel like I’m primarily the BC guys patient and as I was referred seperatly to gynae 3 years ago by my GP the gynae people aren’t so concerned about me.
