Thank You!! That will put my mind somewhat at ease for a while.
Chances are great that it's not cancer. Cysts are really very very common in younger women. If the laparascopy is done, it is a very simple procedure. Usually on an outpatient basis with 3 small incisions.. It isn't even very painful, but uncomfortable for a few days. . She will not be able to drive for 2 weeks usually or lift anything heavy.
You might want to check the top right of this page under "Health Pages" . There is a lot of information there. You need to know that there is 95% chance that all cysts are benign. Ovarian Cancer has other symptoms that your wife doesn't seem to have, so I wouldn't worry unnecessarily. When is the laparoscopy scheduled? Let us know,
