Today we received pretty good news at the dr's office. He said that yes, there are cancerous cells in the mass. There were 3 different types of cells, a low malignant cell, a germ cell, and a benign cell. He said that it is very rare to have all 3. The pathologists were excited to see this because it is so rare. However, the dr said that we will take the baby at 36 weeks up there in st louis. While they are in there doing the csection, my dr will remove the left fallopian tube and some lymph nodes and some tissue. This is all a precaution because it was cancerous. However, he said that this is a self contained mass and he believes that it is in its 1st stage. Which means that the only thing that needs to be done was the removal of the ovary, the mass, and the other parts during the csection. Now, if something comes back from the pathology report from the other things, then maybe they will take further action. But he feels since it is self contained that there should be no other need for further treatment. They will just continue to watch me every so many months after the csection. So, this is good news for us, we were expecting worse but hoping for the best. The baby girl is doing just fine and dandy. She has been kicking mommy all day long. I guess she got mad from them taking out my staples today. There was like 30 staples inside of me.
Anyways, I want to thank everyone for their prayers. They have truly been answered. I am sure that the prayers will continue. If anyone has any prayer request please let me know. I would be happy to answer them and return the favor!!
Thanks everyone!!!!

I am so glad you got some good news. 36 weeks isn't too bad, Princess (my sister) had her little boy at 35 weeks and he's an ox now.
Hope you recover quickly from the last procedure and you find yourself able to chase your boy again soon!
That's great news! Thanks for keeping up posted. My Bee was born at 36 weeks. She four and absolutely normal.... well, she talks too much, but we love her anyway!! LOL
Thank you for keeping us posted. I've been praying, and was so glad to hear more yesterday and today. Blessings to you!!

I'm so glad to read your good news. I've been thinking and saying prayers for you. I hope to read more good news from you in the future.
Whew!!! SO glad to hear your good news. I am praying that the cancerous cells do not spread a millimeter and that Baby Girl continues to grow healthy. My hubby was born 7 1/2 weeks early, 4 lbs 14 oz, and none of his abnormalities can be attributed to his early arrival.,, he's just a guy.
