multiple simple cysts

i have been diagnosed with bilateral multiple simple ovarian cysts with the largest one measuring 60 mm on the left ovary. Radiologist stated that neoplasm could not be ruled out. No lesions, calculi or mural abnormalities were found. I been referred to an oncologist/gynecologist to have both ovaries and fallopian tubes removed. Had hysterectomy 7 years prior. Surgery scheduled for jan 25, 2006. By the way ca-125 came back at 6 normal level. Extremely worrried and nervous. Have since developed many gi problems. Had endoscopy yesterday and they detected a hiatal hernia with esophageal stricture and possible ulcer. I am so nervous I beleive that I am making my self sick . I have 2 children and a wonderful husband that are very supportive although I do not have much confidence in myself.....please help.......

When I was first diagnosed, I was mortified. I know I was making myself sick, and that was unfortunate for everyone.  I began handling things better when I started telling my husband what my real fears were; no longer trying to be the big brave person I wanted to be.
When I quit pretending I was a super woman who could take anything and, if necessary, die with dignity and grace, the healing actually began and I was able to find moments of peace.
We can't hold these fears and anxieties in; it is enough to kill a person without cancer!
Anyway, you have not been diagnosed with cancer!! What's up?
My chemo was finished in Oct. In Nov, on ultrasound and ct, a spot was found on my liver.....everyone flew into a panic; I was scared all over again....my CA125 was 5.....after the dust setteled, further testing, etc., etc.; it was determined the spot on the liver was a simple fatty deposit. At the time, I didn't understand why everyone automatically figured it was a malignancy; it just didn't fit with the CA125 as low as it was; and, after the scare, even my oncologist said the same thing; it just didn't fit.
Hopefully that is what you will find. Try not to borrow trouble when you have a choice; and, until you are told differently, you have that choice.
P.S. I think you are very wise to hope for the best while preparing for the worst; it is good you have a gyn/onc doing your surgery.
Peace be with you.  dian
