WWE Star Finds Pre-Cancerous Mass Thanks to Dr. Aliabadi’s Intervention

The best outcomes for cancer treatment occur when the cancer is caught early. Former WWE star and two-time Divas champion Maryse Mizanin was fortunate enough to catch her tumors when they were still pre-cancerous.

Early intervention saved her life.

Chasing down a diagnosis

Maryse, known for her strength in the wrestling ring and as a mother of two, faced a daunting health challenge when she began experiencing severe abdominal issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, including SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), and unrelenting fatigue. Despite consulting multiple doctors, the root of her symptoms eluded diagnosis, leaving her with more questions than answers.

In an Instagram post, Maryse shared that multiple doctors had failed to get to the bottom of her problems and some had even told her to just “let it go.”

Fortunately for Maryse, she didn’t let it go. She kept searching for answers until she ended up in the office of Dr. Thais Aliabadi.

Dr. Aliabadi initially thought it might be endometriosis and admitted Maryse for laparoscopic surgery. During surgery, Dr. Aliabadi removed 11 samples for testing.

Instead of endometriosis, the labs found a rare ovarian pre-cancer.

Pre-emptive treatment

This revelation shed light on the critical nature of Maryse’s condition. Had Maryse remained undiagnosed and the tumors had progressed to cancer, her survival rate would have fallen to less than a year.

Facing this reality, Maryse made the courageous decision to undergo a hysterectomy, choosing to have her uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and omentum removed. This decision was not only a preventive measure against her pre-cancerous condition but also a bold step towards securing her future with her daughters, Monroe and Madison.

Maryse took this opportunity to emphasize the importance of listening to your body, seeking second opinions, and advocating for yourself.

“If you get dismissed by a doctor, go see a new one until you get the help you need!” Maryse said in her post.
