PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ME

I had my transvaginal ultrasound and the tumor on my left ovary is now 8.6cm. 3 years ago it was 4cm. yes..i said 3 years ago. (had lost insurance and was told then the mass didnt look to be cancer and my ca125 was 34) ...my gyno doctor is doing a hysterectomy jan8th. I asked her by the looks of this thing in me if she thought it to be cancer and she said she isnt thinking it is. i asked why and she said there is only very little free fluid and i dont have distention or asities. nor do i have pain and after having this tumor for 3 years if it were cancer it would have grown alot bigger and id have tons of symptoms....what do you ladies think?? im so freaking out...as you all can relate to so please share your thoughts. THANK YOU

i understand what youre saying! Im sure you'll be able to have more children even if it is endo. lots of woman do!! when is your next appt to get the results?  and if its another cyst they are 99% benign so think that way!

Girl I had both, the transvaginal,and ultrasound yesterday, I have not got my results back yet. I am still waiting on the surgeon doctor to call me to schedule my surgery. I really want to have more children though. I only have 1, son I would like another 1 by God's grace. I am 25 years old but I have read that people could get OVC at any age. My doctor is too not concern becuse of my age, but I am very concern and am fearful what they might find during surgery.

your lucky that your last one dissolved. i wish mine would..but after 3 years looks like i have to have it and my lady parts ripped out!  lol.  when i push on my ovary ..the side i DONT have the mass it becomes sore..hip pain too. my mass itself mostly doesnt hurt at all. never really has..unless i poke around on that area. i know how scarry this stuff is..believe me i do..i have been driving these nice ladies crazy on here..lol... seriously tho..sounds like youre going to be just fine..really !! yours tend to go away ..no matter what the size, it could and probably is benign. complex is scarry i know..i have a big one too. just keep reading on here and asking lots of questions...with your doctor too. when do you go for a transvaginal? or mri ?

Your doctor is probably right, you will exuatly be dead by now if it was cancerous than and yes that tumor would have grown so big that you would have needed medical attention than. what are your symptoms now? I have thigh, and leg pain and frequent urination. I have to be schedule for surgery as well because I keep getting cysts and they rupture like crazy. I am so scared because I had a complex cyst that was 6cm on my left ovary a few months ago but has since resolve but I think its back becuase when I went to my obgyn apt, he pressed on my left side and it hurted badly. He think it endometrosis? I don't know but my hip is hurting badly it feel bruised.
