Hi all!  Had my ultrasound with dopler flow study done last week.  When I spoke to doctor yesterday she said we would do surgery next Tues.  The cyst grew from 6cm to 8.5 cm in < 2 weeks.  She said looks like she will need to remove ovary because cyst is very involved.  And will probably do a hysterectomy at the time.  Said it appears it may be a dermoid.  (That is what they said last time & it was not.  It was benign serous cystadenofibroma, benign surface papillary cystadenofibroma and benign mucous cyst.)  Should I be concerned that this seems like a rush?  Was planning on the surgery anyway, but now am a little nervous.  Also, got my operative report from my surgery in 1999 (when they removed my left ovary & tube).  In the report it said that right ovary appeared very suspicious with multiple excrescences on its outside, some hard & some soft.  They biopsied "several of these" and the tests came back ok.  My question is - could this problem I am having now be related to the cysts/growths from that long ago?  Also, at the time of my surgery in 99, I had a mucinous lesion that ruptured.  Would this cause problems with this surgery?  Sorry to ask so many questions it is just that moving up surgery has thrown me for a loop.  I have 4 kids and a job so getting it all together is freaking me out!  Also, I have not had to do bowel prep before.  She wants one this time because she said scar tissue will make it more difficult.  How long does this take and will I be out of comission the day before surgery?  Thank you all so much for your info.  It means alot!!!    :) Laura
