Complex Cysts
by tayloka, Dec 16, 2003 12:00AM
I am 51 years old. Twenty years ago I had a hysterectomy but my ovaries were left in. At my yearly physical this year I had a CA-125 test done and my numbers were slightly elevated, I believe it was only 40. I have a family history of ovarian and breast cancer. My doc had me go for some ultrasounds wherein they found I had a complex cyst on my left ovary and what they thought was a folicle on my right. I was referred to an GYN Oncologist who suggested I have the ultrasounds done again in 6 weeks. They have now found one complex cyst on my left ovary and two complex cysts on my right. (All are larger than the first scan 6 weeks ago) The radiologist said that without biopsy he could not rule out malignancy. I have another appointment with my GYN Oncologist tomorrow, I'm I wrong to ask that my ovaries be removed at this point, I'm scared?
