If it could be possibly my appendix

I am a veteran last Thursday was brought to an outside VA ER for lower right quadrant stomach pain.  They did lab work everything okay my WBC was 10.29 no fever.  They did an Ultrasound which was highly susceptible for appendicitis it showed that it was not compressable, had minimal hypermiea, I was very tender and showed top normally enlarged.  So since on Ultrasound it was highly showed appendicitis they took me right away to have a CT Scan with contrast which didn’t show any inflammation of appendix but showed two cysts on right ovary largest measures 2.1cm.  So doctor in ER confirmed that my right quadrant stomach pain is due to the cysts.  I have an appointment with my regular primary care doctor at the VA tomorrow for follow up from the ER visit.  Any questions that you can advise me to ask my regular doctor tomorrow and do you think the doctor was right it isn’t my appendix.  Because since then pain gotten worse, no appetite really, with not eating hardly anything still have diarrhea frequently and pass gas since Thursday and don’t feel feverish.
