Could it be ovarian cancer?

3 years ago I had a dermoid cyst on left ovary, they removed it..This passed December I had my tubed tied and asked the doctor to check and make sure everything was ok. Everything looked fine. End of January I started to have bad back pain/nerve pain in legs (which I have back problems already). I have been complaining of the pain for two months now, also shortness of breath, cknstipation, stomach bloating, massive period clots...she final ordered a ct scan...that was yesterday..today they called and said I have a mass in right ovary, radiologist said an endometrial tumor...on the scan ( took a copy home) it's rather destinct, looks about 2 inches in size (probably magnified not sure if ct magnify the images)...so I looked it up and now I'm freaking out...it says 80 percent of those types of tumors are malignant...they're ordering an ultrasound to look at it better...I'm only 28:(...how fast do these grow? It's only been two months and it looks that big...

Waiting for all these things is the hardest part.. I have done a lot of tests and waiting.

I know you are scared. The ultrasound will give them a better idea. All you can do is take it one step at a time. At least they are looking at it. They can tell a lot from an ultra sound. I am here and I care.
