Surgery

[Suzan]

I have to have laparoscopic surgery to remove a cyst. There is a possible danger of having remove the ovary too. From a lyme perspective, is there anything I need to worry about or be careful about that would be any different from anyone else?

 

Can (should) the cyst (or ovary if removed) be tested for lyme? Do tests like that work for lyme like with pathology tests or something?

 

Thanks,

I was told by the Lab who did dd's pathology on her tonsils that if you don't specify what you want them to test for they will basically just look at the tissue and may or may not check for cancerous cells.

 

I would also double check that none of your meds or supplements can cause issues with bleeding or clotting.

Oh thanks, good reminder. Especially because I am taking some herbs that I think I remember they mention this specifically. I'll check it out. I also sent an email to my LLMD to see if she has any concerns before hand.

 

I wonder what I need to ask for them to test for. Seems like a good opportunity...
