Vivaan Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Vivaan Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been experiencing persistent abdominal bloating and a vague sense of pelvic pressure for months, which he initially attributed to stress. When he began noticing irregular, post-menopausal bleeding (he is a transgender man who had not undergone a hysterectomy), his primary care physician grew concerned. Referred to a gynaecologist, an ultrasound revealed a complex ovarian mass. A biopsy confirmed Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma of the ovary. His oncologist recommended a radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and surgical staging as the cornerstone of treatment. Vivaan felt a profound sense of vulnerability, fearing for his future and his family's stability. The surgery was successful, and pathology showed the cancer was confined to the ovary (Stage IA). His recovery was physically challenging but straightforward. Emotionally, he grappled with the loss of organs tied to his identity but found strength in his support system. Post-surgery, with an excellent prognosis, he focuses on healing and advocacy for transgender healthcare, feeling a cautious but profound relief.
