Former WWE Superstar Maryse wrote in a post on social media that she is now tumor-free following a successful total hysterectomy.
The former Divas champion was diagnosed with pre-cancer of the ovaries after months of abdominal pain which no one could figure out why, except for one doctor.
“She found and removed 11 implants around my uterus, ovaries, and all connective tissues around the organs in my abdominal cavity,” Maryse wrote at the time. “All 11 implants came back as Serous Borderline Tumors. A very rare pre-cancer of the ovaries. Very sneaky and aggressive. If those became cancer, the survival rate is less than a year.”
Now, Maryse said that two weeks ago she underwent surgery to have her ovaries, uterus, tubes, cervix, and omentum removed as well as removal of the lymph nodes in her abdomen to see if the disease had spread.
“Pathology confirmed that it had not which is amazing news! More amazing news is that I am tumor free! The diagnosis did confirm that I had Primary Peritoneal Serous Borderline Tumors with involvement of ovaries/uterus/tubes,” Maryse wrote.
She added that seven cases per million women in the U.S. per year are successfully diagnosed and cured of this disease.
“The fact that we not only found this but found this at this manageable stage is unbelievable and literally saved my life as this would have most likely been lethal,” she continued.
Maryse will need to have followups with specialists at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas to monitor her health moving forward.
