question about cancer biopsy

I wecome you to give me comment about my case. I saw a cancer doctor today and she said the result is cancer. But I still doubt her result based on the labs results here:

Ovary, mixed epithelial neoplasm of low malignant potential
Fallopian tube, adhesions, no tumor present
One lymph node, involved by mucinous neoplasm of low malignant potential

Hi Xujie,

It is always important to remember that no one on this Forum is a doctor, we are all patients so we don't have access to all available information.

That said, based on what is in your post, I would suggest that you consider getting a second opinion regarding your diagnosis. When I was first diagnosed I was told I was Stage 4. Based on my biopsy report, I decided to get a second and went to one of the best cancer centers in my part of the world where the head of the lymphoma department rediagnosed me as Stage 1.

So, your doctor may be correct but I would certainly have someone who is well known for dealing with the specific type of cancer you have been told you have review the reports, scan records and the actual pathology slides. It cannot hurt and could be very beneficial to take the time to do this so good luck to you and I hope your doctor is incorrect in their assessment of your condition.

Best regards, Kermica
