I'm 18. I went to the hospital back in November 2016 because I was having abdominal pain and I couldn't move. After hours they told me I have a cyst on my left ovary. And I went to my gyno and he said it was two small to operate on. That was at the end of November. I go in for an appointment early February and they said it grew a lot so they wanted to operate soon as possible. So February 21, 2017 they removed the "cyst" from my left ovary. They thought it was a weird dermoid cyst. And they took my blood a week before surgery and said my cancer markers were very low and that was less likely to be cancer. Well I go back in a month later for the follow up appointment and they said that "dermoid cyst" was cancerous. So I went to see a female cancer doctor in the city. And they said it hasn't spread anywhere else. And that it's only on the ovary's surface. So he doesn't want to remove the left ovary. He thinks it will be fine leaving it there. My gyno told me that the "cyst" was very easy to take off the ovary and it didn't rupture or leak. They said that I'm at stage 1 but they would like to but the port in May 18th and start chemo the 22 of may.
