How dreadful for your girlfriend to be attacked in such a way, especially after what she'd gone through. My heart goes out to both of you. It must be a shock to her to have to go through another surgery so soon.
I have to tell you that 16 years ago I had a large ovarian tumour removed and two weeks later I was in hospital again facing a second surgery because of a massive pelvic infection. Even though it was tough going, I was okay. And the day after my second surgery I had my period. I went on to have three children as well.
Take care both of you.
Are you sure the doctor said 5mm? and not 5cm? It does seem awfully small to warrant a second operation. It could be just a functional cyst.
Sorry,the serum cyst had 5.2mm, not the ovary.
Thank you all for your support!
