Surgery Scheduled Finally, I'm scared

[DHOLI3]

After almost 2 months of agonizing pain and anxiety, the ait and see game is over.  OB/GYN finally taken the step of scheduling surgery. I have a 6.7 cm cyst on left ovary and have a septated thick walled smaller cyst on my right ovary. He "can not rule out cancer"  Pain and pressure and emotion is wearin me out.  I'm having surgery Monday.  Doc stated at appt the other day on top of the cyst and mass that he suspects endometriosis as well.  He says they will start with minimal incision and take the cyst out and more than likely the left ovary, will take septated mass off right ovary,states that when I wake up I will know if the mass on right ovary is benign or not.  He will also do a look/see at the uterus and I may wake up with the radical surgery performed of everything out.  I'm scared and just want this to be over with.  
I'd appreciate words of wisdom.  Thanks

Hey, I just asked a question about depression, so maybe I am not a good choice of one to give advice. However, for years I was upbeat and I attribute it to three things: my faith, my family, and staying busy. My grandchildren are a great source of pleasure to me. If I begin to get low, I put on a CD of religious music that I love, and I sing and dance until the blues are gone. Maybe I just answered my own question. Keeping your mind active and on other things is helpful. God bless!!! It is difficult for sure, but just maybe it isn't cancer.

Hi DHOL,
     It has gone from the slow watchful wait to the fast track hasn't it?  That's how it was for me since I was 48 with two cocmplex cysts on the left ovary and a quick surgery date.  That's when I found this site, the day before I went in to sign the consent forms.  I had a million questions too but spent time reading the other posts.  I found so many answers before I ever posted.  You may have run across a post or two here where Tascha reminds us that 99% of all ovarian masses are benign.  I am one of the lucky 99% DHOL and in all liklyhood, so are you.  Not knowing exactly what the extent of our surgeries will be, let alone the pathology of the masses in advance is terrifying.  One thing I insisted on was a frozen section pathology while I was in surgery.  Is that on your Surgeons plan?  It does not take the place of the full pathology but at least our Surgeon knows, while we are still in surgery, what he or she is dealing with.  What I authorized for removal was contingent on the results of the frozen section.
     Keep in mind that if endo is suspected that could account for all your problems.  Endo can elevate CA125 readings, produce complex septated cysts and really ruin you day.  Take the advise of Tex, keep the faith! IT's OK to be scared DHOL. MV
