Ovarian Cysts and being dormant

[Twymer]

I am 40 years old and have just had my 2 year anniversary of being done with chemo and suregery from colon cancer.  2 years ago I had an Ultrasound for a cyst on my Ovary. The Gynocologist/Oncologist Dr I saw at the time thought it was nothing as it was 2.5 cm at the time, he said it would resolve itself.  Well now its 2 years later. In April 2012 I went in for a CT Scan and the same cyst on my left ovary was at 3.4 cm and so they sent me in for a follow up Vaginal Ultrasound in May 2012 3 weeks later and the Cyst is now at 6.7 cm.  I have been complaining to my Colon Cancer Chemo Dr  since August 2011 that I have problems with Urgency when I pee and poop and that I have bloating.  Anyhow its now 06/15/2012 and I have so much presure in my abdomen its hard to get comfortable and feels funny down my legs. I see the Surgeon on 06/28/2012, but my brain is taking me places I dont think I should go. Can you help me? My CA-125 has been normal. I just wanted to know why would a dormant cyst start growing so Rapidly?

Hi Guys.

I am a healthy 36 year old female and my PERIODS have STOPPED! I came off  the Contraceptive pill in May,after taken them for 10 years.I am overweight for my height etc alot of weight around my abdomen etc. and I did have a OVARIAN CYST and Endometrosis(had a operation in June 2001) The Surgeon cut half my right ovary and I have fibroids in my uterus.

What seem to be the problem I wonder? Can any one help give me any advice.Thanks Michelle

Who knows why our body does what our body does.  The good thing is that the doctors are being proactive.  The growth spurt could be hormone related.  

All of your signs and symptoms could be related to the cyst.  

As a survivor, you know the drill....try not to panic until you know that there is something to worry about.  

Hang in there!!!!
