Dear Saville,
thank you so much for your follow up. I am so glad that everything went well.
best wishes!
Thanks again for sharing your story and situation with me. It's helped me decide to call the gyno/onc Monday and ask him to schedule me for a laporoscopy as soon as possible. I want him to first try to remove the cyst and the mass (my mass on the left ovary is pendunculated - or as it was explained to me - it comes off the ovary on a stalk and bulbs out.) I want him to at least try to leave one ovary. Unforunately, I have the cyst on one and mass on the other...I'm just hoping neither is too far embedded to be removed. I figure the longer they stay in there the more 'at home' they will become and I certainly don't want that. I just don't want to whittle away time bouncing around from doctor to doctor...and the gyno/onc did tell me he would do whatever I decided, so...he's about to hear :-) Anyway...that's the plan :-) I am so happy to hear your positive outcome!! I will keep you posted.
The physician said I should have been in a lot of pain due to extent of endometriosis, but I never was. Isn't that strange?
Thank you for all your assistance. You were a ray of light in this process. The laproscopy has been completed, and I am fine. The cysts were just endometrias which have been removed. Final tests not complete, but pathologist felt confident not cancer. Physician also removed other endomitriomas scattered around the pelvis.
