Question: Hi, my name is Chrissy. I am located in XXXXXXX TN. A month+ ago I ended up in the ER w/severe lower abdominal and pelvic pain. It was terrible pain. The ER admitted me into the hospital. I had 4 separate doctors and a radiologist team all shrug their shoulders. CT & ultrasound showed a huge mass of fluid filling up my entire pelvic area. 5 days later I discharged with no doctor willing to help or send me any type of suggestion as to where I should go. Over a month went by and I went back to one of the 1st Gyn/Onc that was in the hospital for the first 2 days then went out of town. He wasn't thrilled with doing surgery on me. I could not find anything online about fluid sitting in the pelvic.
Long story short, I have gone through the surgery successfully. I found out it was a jelly like substance. Knowing that I hit up the internet again and everything I find is "PMP". However I lost my appendix a bit over 3 years ago due to a bowel obstruction I came close to making it out of. So PMP is showing it's appendix cancer possibly.
Does anyone have an answer to what this "Jelly Belly" thing could be for me. I don't go back to surgeon for a week, but I want to be prepared to ask. Surgeon had never come across my condition either. If I don't get answers, is there a place I should look into going? If this is some sort of cancer I need to know. Still waiting on pathology as well. Is there anything similar to PMP that doesn't involve the appendix? Sorry for my long post. This is worrying & consuming me.
Thank you in advance!
Chrissy
