thank you, i am waiting on getting my scan done next week, hopfully i will noe more then.
Usually a cyst is not cancerous. A cyst is filled with fluid. If it is solid and vascular, i.e., it has a blood supply, then they worry more about cancer. Cancer needs a blood supply to function. Solid lumps are referred to as Adenomas, they have only a 5-15 % chance of being cancerous. I think you should be concerned enough to watch it, but I think you should put the worry into other things. =)
