I had some pretty severe pains in my lower abdomen tonight. I tried to shake it off because I was hanging out with my bestie but I ended up going home. Around 1am, the pain was enough to bring me to my knees and I started to vomit. I saw blood and decided to go to the ER. Blood work, a CT, an ultrasound, and two pelvic exams later, I have been diagnosed with a tumor (a teratoma to be exact). Instead of seeing my PCP next week, I'll be coming in to talk about surgery options. They are not sure of the exact location of the tumor but warned me there is a strong chance they will have to remove my ovary.

However, the doctor said I am young and healthy so he is very hopeful that it is benign. Any and all prayers would be appreciated on this end because I am in total shock.
