What Are The Side Effects And Treatment For Desmoid Tumors?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with a desmoid tumour in my arm had another lump removed from my tummy although awaiting results. I had an intraventricular neuro cytoma when I was younger. Does this all point to having Gardiners Syndrome and if so does this mean pregnancy is ruled out?

Thanks for your help.

All these symptoms do point to Gardener's syndrome although they are not conclusive. If it is indeed a desmoid tumor, then the only treatment available is surgical removal. Neither Gardener's syndrome nor surgery for desmoid tumor rule out a pregnancy and you have the same chance of a successful pregnancy as any other women. That is of course if your reproductive system is normal which you will know once you start trying to conceive. So go ahead.
