Do you have to have a cyst to have ovarian cancer?

by curiousgirl, Sep 25, 2003 12:00AM
I have a golf ball sized cyst on my left ovary. My gyn. told me to come back in 6 weeks to evaluate it again. How big does it have to be in order to be concerned? Hoe big does it have to be to determine what kind of cyst it is?

Can you have ovarian cancer without having a cyst? If so, what are the symptons to look for?
