Welcome to OCF! Its always nice to have survivors join our group.

You are young to have been thru an OC diagnosis. You are very fortunate to have caught it so early! Most of us have been thru radiation in addition to having surgery which makes a big difference in healing. Is sorry but I cant remember anyone with a similar situation as yours on the forum. Its pretty unusual for granulation to keep returning.

My suggestion if possible, would be to get checked out at a comprehensive cancer center (CCC). Its where the doctors specialize in a team based approach with them all on the same page with a treatment plan. CCCs usually have the latest state of the art facilities and their doctors are more experienced. Thats not to say you cant find great medical care other locations. If a CCC is anywhere near your location it would be a good idea to get them to check you out. Let me know if you need the list of CCCs.

Best wishes!
