Why Is Ovarian Lymphoma A Contraindication?

Hello I had ovarian lymphoma last year treated with chemotherapy after surgery (it was a primary ovarian lymphoma, very rare presentation) and am in complete remission. My tummy has changed a lot after surgery and I am considering laser lipo to improve shape but do not understand why cancer is a contra indication. Can you explain and say whether it's extra precautionary or whether there are valid reasons.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It will help to know the time since you took your last treatment. At times the abdominal wall might be weak and there might be associated relative contraindications to liposuction after cancer. This happens because your general immunity might be low and your body might be recovering from the associated effects of medicines given during your cancer.

Many patients might also develop increased abdominal fat due to regular intake of steroids and this gradually disappears with time. Please discuss with your doctor in detail and then know the risks and benefits and any time period to wait for before getting it done. Please do not worry.
