HEALTH UPDATE-ONCOLOGIST APPOINTMENT FOLLOW-UP
2017-11-02 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 18 min
Chantal provides a health update after a gynecologic oncology appointment about large ovarian cysts. She describes clinic interactions, pre-op paperwork, internal exam, CA125 blood test results (105) and repeat testing, CT findings that show two 16 cm cysts (one mostly fluid, one mixed fluid/solid with borderline malignant features), plans for an urgent MRI (with prescription for Ativan due to claustrophobia), possible surgical options including removal of at least one ovary, fertility concerns, and an upcoming naturopath consultation. Cats interrupt the video; she mentions low appetite and recent chicken parmesan as her last full meal.
