Hi Jane,

My dermoid is 4.2x3.1x3.5 cm.  It grew 0.5 cm in one month, so it is hard to say how big it will be when I finally get it removed.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for your appointment on Wednesday.  Hopefully you'll get a date that is not too far out!

How big is your dermoid?

I completely understand about wanting to pack for your son.  How old is he?

I don't have any kids - only a husband & two dogs....but who knows what the future holds for us? Maybe kids...not sure yet.

Hi Dana

My dermoid is 17.5 cm in (from hip bone to hip bone) and from my
pubic bone to rib cage (unknown length) so fairly big???  How did i not notice this you ask !!!   well i gave up smoking several years ago and have stuggled with the extra weight (21 pounds) since then although i was losing it it wasnt going from my tummy.  So i have a friend who is a personal trainer who gave me some tips but i was getting hip pain so he advised me to get it checked out.  the doc sent me for a x ray where they discovered teeth !!! So everything went from there.

my son is nine years old and is my world (and his dad of course)
(well most of the time ) he is so looking forward to me going to hospital as his dad as told him they will have to eat out every night  mcdonalds pizza hut  kft  Show how much they will miss my cooking.

take care
