I'm a 46 y/o with a history of colon CA at the age of 28. I was lucky and found it early enough not to have chemo.About 8years ago I had a hyst. but kept my ovaries. My left ovary was almost removed . I insisted they stay before surgery. Since then there has been cyst on them both for the past 8 years . I did not go for the annual gyn appt.  last year . For what reason I don't know why.
I also know better ,because I'm a nurse. A year and 10 months later I went .After a trans vag ultra sound  and CT of the abd and pelvis It showed multiple cyst with the larger measuring 6.4x6.2 cm with 71ml fluid 2 septation and debris  in the right ovary and a 4.8x5.5 with 52ml volume and debris.
CT scan  confirmed this and also a new finding of 2 lesions/mass in my liver .The first measuring 9mm and the second measuring 4.5 cm in the left lateral lobe. Further testing blood work all looks really good CEA1.2,HCG<5,CA125-25,AFP-1.5. A MRI is being scheduled as well as a meeting with a gyn/onocolgist. My question is  should I be as alarmed as my gyn Dr. seem to be?
what else should I be asking .

Your Gyn is doing everything he should be doing.  My thoughts are with you.  May it turn out as well as your colon ca. did.  We are here for you, keep us posted.

First I want to say I am sorry about your colon cancer dx, but happy it was caught early.

I don't want you to be scared or anything, but I think your doctor is being very prudent to send you to a gyn onc for follow-up.

When is your MRI and appt. with Gyn Onc?
The waiting is going to be hard. We will be thinking of you. Keep us posted.
