not sure
I have been diagnosed with Bilateral complex multioculated ovearian neoplasms, measuring 11cm x 12cm x 11 cm
I was able to see a private Gyno this afternoon.( Did cost me an arm and a leg!!)
He has asked me to have another ultrasound and then will refere me to an Gyn Onc if needed.
He wasnt very reassuring or overly concerned, Actually he really didnt say too much at all.
He did a transvaginal ultrasound...which i wasnt expecting...im pretty modest, even after having 5 children.
He said he could clearly see the large complex multioculated cysts.
He said that because they were so large, he was not overly concerned regrding cancer because if they were malignant I would not be feeling so well ???
What do you think??

Hi Shelly,
Its amazing how , when faced with an unknown how we ( meaning me...) become consumed by it.
I am quite anxious as I am not real good at being forceful and I have this awful feeling that I am going to have to be quite direct and strong when it comes to this. re. the specialist.
He wasnt too interested in my condition yesterday. He didnt ask anything about Family history, how my health was overall , nothing about me...who I was (Its just Im more than a pair of ovaries!!)
I felt quite intimidated and ...actually a little stupid.I felt like I was waisting his time as he squeezed me in on a favor for my family doctor. I made some silly coment about being very old,,,to which he looked over his glasses at me and didnt smile.
From everything i have read, benign tumors can mimic malignat ones and vis versa, so the only way of knowing its true nature is after they have been removed and tested.???
I feel anxious that i may need to ask for a referal to a Gyn/Onc. I dont want to offend the specialist i saw yesterday, I know this is silly because i dont know him.
I dont have private health cover, and have been given a Gyn appointment through the public system, but not until early March. Im concerned that i should not wait and continue down the path of private specialists, who can see me alot sooner....or should I wait???
My cysts are complex, bilateral, large, have solid components,very tender & easily palpable
On the up side there is no evidence of spread, seeding or vascularity.
Hmmmm.. Perhaps I should have the second Pelvic Ultrasound on Monday and see what it says.??
Do you think its ok to ask for a copy of the report from the Ulrasound??
Blessings,
Sheryl

I do not know why he thinks you need another ultrasound and then maybe a gyn/onc.
You need a gyn/onc NOW. Those are very large cysts and they are complex. They need to be removed by someone with gyn/onc skills.
I suppose he has a point that if they were cancer and that large you would be very ill, but being very large and benign they pose other health risks to the bowels, urinary tract, hormone output, and the real risk of torsion/cell death to the ovaries/tubes which is potentially life threatening to you. If a cyst were to rupture at that size, it would also be extremely painful and probably lead to a bad infection and adhesions of any solid components.
Where do these doofus doctors come from to be so casual about large cysts?
Take control of your health and ask for the gyn/onc...and for a surgery date. You will feel so much better without those cysts. And if there is even a small amount of cancer hiding in a cyst that cannot be detected in ultrasound, it needs to be removed before it gets a chance to spread outside the cyst.
