My lapraotomy is next Friday. I am anxious but at the same time want them to take it out, have a look, and let me know that it's not cancer (they think it's a dermoid at the moment). Where are you having your surgery?

I just had my operation a week ago and I was very scared. I was going to back out at last minute but everyone convinced me to go ahead with it and I'm glad I did. First 3 days were painful but as each day goes by I feel better. My right ovary carried a 15.5 lb. cyst and they went ahead and took the other because it was the size of a softball. My stomach has gone down a lot!

I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you're in recovery! What's the diameter of your cyst?

Hi Kim. I really feel scared now, I know I'm being silly but I'm finding it hard not to be terrified. 3 days now and , I'm trying to keep busy with work and when home the same. Goodness knows what I'm going to be like on Monday morning. As I have asked for something to relax me before I go down to theatre will it help me feel calm . How are you doing now , how long are you off work . Karenxx
