Hi

I had surgery to remove a multioculated cyst on my right ovary 4 weeks ago

(Im feeling a little freedom because I can drive today)

My surgery went well except it had to be done by laparotomy instead of keyhole due to the cyst had grown from 8.3cm to 15.1cm.

After the visit to my gynecologist for my results I'm feeling a little unsure

Dr. told me that my left ovary & uterus looked good, results from washings were clear & tumour markers in the blood were clear.

But pathology test on the cyst shows that the cells were changing???

Dr's Words Not Malignant But Not Benign???

Procedure for this is normally removal of remaining ovary & uterus as a preventative surgery. (i'm 56 & have 4 beautiful children so not needed)

My Dr. did not use the words Cancer or hysterectomy just removal

Therefore a visit to an oncologist gynecologist next week.

I am feeling lots of concerns - Referral to Oncologist gynecologist, another surgery & removal of healthy organs. 

I went into my surgery with a Plan B & now i suppose i will just add +

I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience to this

Thanks for reading & letting me express this I'm feeling better already

      Thanks for your reply Michelle 

      i saw the oncologist gynaecologist she gas given me some options

      1:- remove other ovary & Fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, appendix & some sort of scrapping or....

      2:- keep having a blood test & ultrasound for the next 12 months to monitor

      she did say the chances of it happening are 10-15% & if I was only 37 they would not suggest surgery

      so at the moment I think Im leaning towards option 2 as the first operation is still fresh as it's only been 5 weeks.
