Hannah's Surgery Part 3

*Apologies for the late post*

After Hannah was completely anesthetized, the surgical team officially started the procedure. First, surgical tech nurses removed her gown and put surgical cloths on her. They then coated her chest, abdomen, and pelvis with a cold sanitizing disinfectant liquid. After this step was completed, the surgeon announced they were ready to begin the procedure and the anesthesiologist checked the patient's vital signs and breathing.

After her vitals and breathing were checked, the lead surgeon announced the first incision into Hannah's abdomen. "Scalpel" she said, firmly and confidently, as the scrub nurse handed her the scalpel.

The lead surgeon proceeded to make the first incision into Hannah's abdomen as the initial imaging showed a growth, possibly a tumor in her lower abdomen.

As the surgery continued, the surgical team located the growth, which indeed was revealed to be a tumor. They excised the tumor and sent part of it the medical center's pathology lab to be analyzed to see if it was malignant or benign, also known as cancerous, or not.

After an extended wait, the pathology results were back. Hannah had Stage III Ovarian Cancer. The surgical team decided that the best course of treatment was a radical hysterectomy. Due to the situation being considered an emergency, Hannah was not given the opportunity to give consent for the hysterectomy. The medical team then worked to remove some additional cancerous cells from the surrounding area. Unfortunately however, the disease had already spread to her lymph nodes. Once the surgical team had done all they could, they knew it was time to finish the procedure and eventually, wake up Hannah and deliver the life-altering news. Hannah's life was about to change forever.

After the procedure was completed, Hannah was transferred to a gurney and wheeled into the recovery room. After several hours the anesthesia began to wear off and Hannah began to regain consciousness. When she came to, she was dazed by the bright lights and noises of the recovery room and felt a numbness in her abdomen and pelvis.

Once she was fully awake, Hannah's surgeon came in wearing dark blue scrubs, a matching blue coat, as well as a pink hijab since she was a Muslim woman.

The surgeon asked if Hannah was feeling better and then told her about the surgery. "Hannah, you have Stage III Ovarian Cancer", she said. The surgeon continued, "As a result of this discovery, we decided to perform a hysterectomy and attempted to remove other additional cancerous cells. Despite this however, the disease has now spread to your lymph nodes and requires further treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I've already set up a meeting with an oncologist."

Hannah was shocked and devastated. After having her uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes removed without her consent, she also had to face the reality of painful but necessary cancer treatments. She knew at this moment her life had changed forever.

To be continued.

The other day, a 36-year-old patient who I see every week for an opiate use disorder treatment asked me, “Dr. Majeed, will you be able to stay in the United States? I know you are from a Muslim country.” Other patients and their families have shared similar concerns with me over the past few weeks, and many of my friends who are also international medical graduates (IMGs) have told me that their patients have done the same.President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from

Hannah's Treatment

(Continued from Hannah's Surgery Series)

Following her Ovarian Cancer diagnosis, Hannah was immediately admitted to the hospital's Oncology Center as a long-term inpatient case. A few days after her surgery, where she underwent a radical hysterectomy without consent, she met with her surgeon and a gynecological oncologist to discuss her treatment options. She was prescribed an intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment regimen, with chemo four days a week and lengthy radiation treatments on the three days in between. She was also informed about the painful side affects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy that we she would experience. Another side affect would be losing her hair and going bald. Despite being scared and overwhelmed, Hannah signed the consent forms in order to undergo the treatment plan.

The first step in her treatment plan involved undergoing a radiation 'simulation' in order to find and mark the correct positioning for her body to undergo pelvic and chest radiation. She was placed on the table, moved in position, and her abdomen and pelvic area were marked with small tattoos to indicate where the radiation beams would be.

The next phase of her pre-treatment process would be to undergo a brief surgery to have a chemo port placed inside her chest in order for chemotherapy to be administered directly into her chest and bloodstream. When the surgery was finished, Hannah felt a small lump in her chest where the port was placed. It was still very sensitive to the touch. Hannah was forced again to reckon with the reality of her situation although it was necessary in order to save her life.

A week after her initial surgery and diagnosis, Hannah's Ovarian Cancer Treatment was set to begin. Shortly after woke up in the morning, an oncology nurse, wearing a surgical gown, gloves, and a surgical scrub cap entered the room.

The nurse proceeded to clean and prep the port area, hang the chemotherapy IV bag, and then connect it to the port in her chest. Hannah winced in pain briefly as the IV was attached to the port. Once this was complete, the nurse began the IV drip and the very first drops of chemo drugs entered her body. She gulped slowly as the IV began to flow. Hannah realized once again that her life would never be the same. The oncology nurse reassured her that everything would be okay, that it was a necessary treatment, and that it was all for the best.

The next day, after her first chemo session, Hannah would undergo her first of many radiation therapy treatments. She was taken to the radiology center, lied down on the table, and was strapped in place. The fear once more set in as she found herself immobilized on the table. The table was then moved into position and the radiation beams were activated. She stayed perfectly still, knowing that the slightest movement would result in unnecessary radiation exposure. As the treatment continued, Hannah finally came to terms with her new reality. From this point on, chemo and radiation therapy treatments each day would define her existence going forward.

As the treatments continued for days and weeks, Hannah quickly began to lose her hair and feel the side affects of the treatment. While extremely upsetting, she was always reassured by the oncology team that was for her own good. This new and painful reality was now her life.
