Good luck to you on Monday.  I have a complex cyst and am scheduled to have a test concerning my endometrium next Thursday.  Tomorrow I'm taking an Ova 1 test.  Even though I'm 50, I haven't reached menopause yet.  My surgery to remove the afflicted ovary is scheduled for June 29.  

Prior to my surgery, I sought out a second and third opinion.  Practice due diligence and use the internet as a resource to educate yourself.  From what I've learned, there is no certainty of a diagnosis for ovarian cancer until a biopsy of the cyst is performed.  The CA125 and Ova 1 test have produced some false positives and negatives.  

Fear of the unknown is very difficult to deal with, so we're in the same boat
