Hi Ellagance. Sorry to hear your story. Young people often get cysts, or juvenile fibromas in their hands and wrists and it can be difficult to differentiate from DD, even after a lab analysis. There are Drs who have experience in helping children and young people with DD and you should seek them out, if not done so already. It is a genetic condition, many people gets lumps and nothing else, but people who get it at a younger age may have a more aggressive form. It is difficult to predict your outcome, maybe nothing further will develop, until later, or even ever, or maybe the surgery will promote a flare of new growth. There is no cure, but treatments to restore hand function, and radiation therapy to slow down progression, although you are probably too young. Hopefully you will recover from surgery, and that’s it nothing else. Or it might develop slowly over years with just minor annoyance of lumps in the hands. It’s difficult to predict. Read up on the treatments available, take care of your hands, avoid the known risk factors, and get on with your life.
