If ovarian is suspected during patient visit. I've already had a double mastectomy for breast cancer, can they schedule the full de vinci robotic surgery immediately?

Hey Shauna, If during your appointment your doctor decides surgery is the best option, a surgery date will be offered to you the day of your consultation. Whether or not we offer you the full da Vinci robotic technique - that decision is entirely up to your surgeon, dependent upon your specific type of cancer. Hope this helps!

I know when I had an Ovarian cyst, they scheduled me for surgery immediately, but we're even able to bump me up 2 weeks from my original date, but I had to have traditional surgery due to the size.
