I cant stop crying, I got my path report back. HELP!

I had to post ASAP to find some comfort. I had my hyst on Aug 14 with ovaries because of endo and adeno etc. After much abuse from my doctor in my recovery time, I took my sisters advice and got a 2nd oppinion and a new gyn to help me through my recovery. On Friday she went over my results, doctors notes, and pathology reports. She looked at me and said, i dotn know how to tell you this. You did not have endo, adeno, and both ovaries were FINE! I was frozen in time. Those words have replayed in my heard since fri. I have cried and cried and cried. The thing is, before surgery, I looked at my doctor and said, PLEASE only take my ovaries if they cant be saved, Im only 28!!!!!!!! And after the surgery he said, you had the worst case of endo, Ive seen then he said, your ovaries were shot, they couldnt be saved!!!!!!!! Now I am grieving all over again. I had just convinced myself that this was OK because it HAD to be done, NOW to know it never had to happen! And how he lied to me. The other NIGHTMARE to this story is when I was 5 days to returning to work, I got a call from my DM saying I didnt have a managemnt job when I got back. Id have to go to hourly. I just cant believe this all happened to me. Not only did I loose all my insides I lost my job that I love. I know they cant "do that" BUT... THEY DID! Help!!! email me joybakerseattle@yahoo.com

Oh my gosh, as I read your post I just couldn't believe it. You definately deserve many, many big Wow! I'm sorry but I am almost speechless.
The job thing, I believe, I've heard of stuff like that happening. It's not right but it does happen.
I'm sorry I don't know much else of your history but I'm curious what led you to your gyn and the ides of surgery? Not that that matters now I guess.
All I can say is I'm so sorry for what you are going through, I wish I could just hold you and tell you every thing will be alright. again. I'll say prayers for you and ask that God hold you close and wrap you in comfort and healing and send to guide you through this devastating time.

OMG Joy, I don't know what to say to you sweetie. This is unbelievable! Please contact a lawyer immediately. I cannot imagine a doctor telling you how awful your endo was and then the report coming back clean. Thank God you found another doctor who is willing to help you although I don't know how you could ever trust a medical person again. I am a nurse and I am horrified by this. I am so sorry that this happened to you. And then to lose your job.........{{{{{Joy}}}}}. I wish I could hug you in person. Please know that I am praying for you. I just wish I could do something else to help you. Take care and know your sisters here love you.

I am so, so, sorry for what you were put through! Do you have copies of all your reports? If not I would ask the new doc for them. Just say you want them for your records, that's all I have to say to my doctors and all of them hvae been happy to give me copies. Then after reading the reports if all was healthy, I would seriously think about taking some legal action. I assume you were having some type of symptoms before the surgery, if so, have they disappeared since the surgery? I hope this new doctor can help you if you are continuing to have problems.

Wow, is all I can say. I am totally speechless.
I am so sorry for all you are going through. I would definately take legal action against that first incompatant Doctor. I am glad that you have a good one now finally.
I wish I could be there in person to give you a big
That job thing is really bad too. How can people live with themselves when they act that way.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Also on a lighter note, I noticed that you live in Seattle. I live in Eastern Wa. in the Tri-Cities.
Take Care & Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Oh Sweety


I really do not understand why a Dr would do that to a patient to anyone. My god you are 28 years old. If your ovaries were healthy?????????????. I would be suing his *** that is for sure.

I am sorry about your job as well. That is really tough.

Take care of yourself

Oh, Joy!!! I'm so sorry this has happened to you!!
You need to get a copy of all your medical records
and pathology reports...they are yours and you have
every right to have them. Then go find a good lawyer.
You may not need a job when you get done with that
doctor!!

You are in my thoughts and prayers!

My dear sister....I'm so sorry that you have to go thru this-my prayers for peace and comfort are with you.

I agree that you need to have your medical records in hand and then if possible sit down with an MD and have him explain line by line to you! (it's your legal right) then decide what other recourse you need (legal or not) You can probably throw in a few employment questions to your lawyer, too!

I think the first thing you need to do is sit down with your surgeon and ask him why the surgery and path report differs from what he told you after your surgery. Give him the opportunity to explain what he did and why. I read my reports, and they are quite difficult to understand. Take the report with you and go over every bit of it with him and don't leave until he's explained everything to your satisfaction.

Sunny - I agree with Catherine...if you have questions regarding your surgery and path report you really should discuss them with the gyn. that performed the surgery too....he/she can go over your surgerical report AND your path report. Just because one dr. doesn't agree with another one doesn't mean that your original gyn. "lied" to you.

From reading previous posts you stated you'd been dealing with problems for years and had 2 laps and a D&C prior to hyst. What was found during those procedures????
