Sertoli-leydig cancer

Post a new topicby nelliepud on Tue Dec 18, 2007 4:34 pm


My sister was told a year and a half ago that she had irritable bowel syndrome. This got worse and 2 months ago she was told she was pregnant. It turned out to be a malignant sertoli leydig tumor which is a form of ovarian cancer her is unusaul in that it was outside the ovary. I wonder if anyone else has experience of this. She has been told that the lymph node they removed was cancerous but they left the uterus and ovaries??????????? they now face the prospect of going back in to remove the pelvic organs and the omentum etc. They wont give us a stage until the hysterectomy but i read that if it was in the lymph tissue it had to be stage 3 or 4. Can anyone help?
