Septated Cyst and 2nd Opinion Need Help

I had light bleeding and spotting 3 weeks ago.Went to my ob/gyn because I am post menopausal and not had a period in 18 months. He did uterine bisopy and pap test came back normal. Had ultra sound TransVagnial and it showed , Thick unterine lining .09cm
2 fibroids and a sepatated cyst on left ovary half the size of my ovary.After reading a lot on here I decided to make appt with a gyn/oncologist.She comes highly recomemended.I called and they told be to send all my reports she has a panel that reviews them and then decides if I need to see her because she is in such demand.I did all this and today they called me and told they would make appt for me. 1st available which is June 12th but would call me if they had a cancellation.My doctor was just going to send me for another U/S on June 16th. Now  I don't know what to make of all of this.I really hoped after they reviewed it I wouldn't need an appt.I do have cramps on and off, low back pain,and gas.I have an appt for this Wed with my doctor because after reading my U/S report I have a lot of questions.Anyone here have this happen to them? Any thoughts or advice would be apperciated. Am I worrying for no reason. Right now I don't need this. My mom who lives with me is 82 and was just DX with CMML leukemia.My job is very stressful and I feel like I am on over load.Any questions I should be asking my doctor on Wed?
You are all so great on here I am so happy I found this site.

I just got back from a transvaginal ultra sound and happened upon this site. I noticed the tech maked a little black round spot a couple of times.  in my uterus., I I have not had my pd in 12 months and the am considered menopausal.   I had a little bleeding last Thursday ( went to dr immediately) and it was like my pd that I had for my last 2 pds. . I FEEL like I had pms before the bleeding even my face broke out but the doctor says it is not a period. I am a wreck.   I am 56.  The tech made a comment that my ovaries did not look like those of a menopausal woman. Could I NOT be through with menopause yet?  I know I am too old not to be but what the heck is going on?

Sounds like you're on the right path.  I'd keep the gyn/onc appointment, and hope they can see you sooner to ease your mind.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but ignoring your cysts will not make them go away!  Remember, you can't care for others if you don't care for yourself first.

Keep a piece of paper with you and when questions occur to you, write them down.  That way you'll be prepared when you go back to your dr.  I'd ask about having a CA125 blood test, they're not very reliable but the drs usually do them anyway.  Also maybe they could check the level of hormones in your blood, you might not be as fully menopausal as you thought.

Good luck, and check in when you know more!

Just because she is a gyn/onc doesn't mean that she only sees cancer patients.  She is a specialist in the female reproductive area and she has seen it all.  Perhaps given your age and that you are post menopausal is the reason.  And also, she may want to see you so that if you have fibroids or ovarian cysts - she can remove them BEFORE it turns into anything serious.  Remember early detection is our best defense!  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Godspeed
