Diagnosis of ovarian cysts (possible hydrosalpins)
I haven't posted to this site in over four months because of other issues that have been erupting in my life but now I need to consult once again after today I am very worried that I may have ovarian cancer. To start I have had cysts for nearly a year (this month will be a year). Today I went back to my reg GYN for a follow up visit after having had to visit the ER on 8/17 due to pelvic pain. As I was waiting to see my Dr. I began to get upset, and one thing led to another and before I knew I was on my way to the ER (again).
Now the diagnosis from 8/17 was that I have a solid mass (4cm) in my uterus, left ovary has 6cm cysts (possible hyrdosalpinx) and the right has a cysts 8cm possible hydrosalpinx). The medical terms are "large elongated septated, cystic abnormality in the right adnexa measuring 8cm. "The diffential diagnosis includes [complex ovarian cysts or hydrosalpinx]). My GYN is referring me to a Oncologists for consultation, he says its looks like I need surgery and he would rather have the specialist do it. I am worried that I have ovarian cancer and he just doesn't have the report to say it flat out. Has any one ever had these similar diagnosis because right now all I can think of is that this oncologist is going to tell me that I have cancer and I am really scared out of my mind. Please someone tell me something.

Thank you MarieM, for your comment. I love this site it gives me a chance to communicate with women that can relate what I am going through. I appreciate all of the feedback I receive. I am all set for my appt on the 22nd and will look to get these removed. I had such an off two weeks due to death in the family and luckily I did not have pain to the extent that I had to go to the ER.
Will keep you posted.

It may just be fibroids or endometriosis (uterus), a cyst on each ovary, and a blocked/fluid-enlarged tube (hydrosalpinx), none of which are necessarily cancer but certainly they could cause you pain. The septated cyst is complex (has sections/compartments).
An oncologist is a much better surgeon (even for benign conditions), so your gyn is making the best recommendation for you. Many women have had these conditions removed and still were tested as benign so you have equally good chances. But there's enough going on there that you want those things removed so you can feel better again.
