I am still waiting for surgery on my ovarian cysts (I have four, bilateral, the largest is 19cm at the MRI 14 months ago). I now have a date, in early September and I've had the pre-assessment. I am just really wound up because I have waited SO long (over 3 years). My stomach is now HUGE. I have put on 4 stone in weight with these cysts sad I'm terrified something will happen and they will pull out of the op. I keep spontaneously crying. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me?

    Sending you love! I know it's really scary, I'm in the throws of it now and Into tears randomly. But when this happens please talk about it, talk about your fears to those near you -- it helps. 🙂 Hang in there!

      Yes! The random tears! I think maybe it's the cysts causing it as well as the anxiety.

    I know it's extremely scary but just hang in there and know that the surgeons will take great care of you. After all - they perform

    Numerous surgeries per day! Plus once the cysts are gone, you will feel so much better!! Try to look forward to post-op and don't think so much about the surgery itself. smile
