Worried

Well ladies! I just received a phone call from my mother. She has two solid masses one on each ovary. She had hister years ago for uterine cancer. She's been bloated for months now just like me. She's 52. And thanks to all you wonderful woman I know what to tell her. 99% of all tumors are benign. Thanks. She has gyn appt. next week. Her reg. doctor found solid masses is what he called them.

Don't worry about the term "masses" just yet.  Dr.s use cysts, tumors and masses enterchangably until they are biopsied.  You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.  Godspeed

I agree with Tascha.  When I had a vaginal sonogram the report called it a "Pelvic Mass"  - I wasn't even sure it was on the ovary from that description!
