for those of you that have read my first post here you'll understand a little bit more where im coming from. bottom line is **rt ov rmvd due to lrg dermoid in 96', cysts over the years, now 6cm cyst on lft ov, cyst on rt side node or ?tissue?, rt side pelvic hernia, and many new GI issues now too** i have an appt next wk for another u/s and then appt w/obgyn a few days after that. when i talked to my obgyn over the phone about the cyst report she seemed very casual about it and that bothered me. but ill get my chance to really talk w/her soon. i guess what im writing to you ladies about is that i want to talk to her about possibly "needing" to or "wanting" to remove the remaining ovary. i am in so much discomfort now, and it gets so much worse w/my cycles. i am at a point where i am just so tired of being in pain, and im tired of dealing w/and worrying about the cysts. so many of you ladies have been thru so much more than i have or am, so i feel a little odd or selfish about "whining" in here to you about my issues. i guess what im hoping for is some wisdom, so words of advice, questions to ask my doctor, and/or more information. i have 2 beautiful little ones and i know that i have been blessed. my husband and i have never said we were done having children, or that we werent, but at this point i just want to be able to be a great mommy and wife to my family. i dont want to be craby, moody, tearful, and in pain. ive considered talking to one of my docs about an anti.dep but even w/that im not sure. thank you so very much for reading this. u are amazing women. xo donielle
