Ovarian cyst 7 cm, with breast cancer

I have two ovarian cysts, the right measures 7 cm, the left 3cm.  Per my last ultrasound, the left cyst has "thin septation".  doppler examination shows minimal flow with the septae.
I just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer and am currently undergoing radiation with 5 weeks to go.  I have an oophorectomy sked for the end of june, but I'm freaked out, thinking I should have ooph a lot sooner.
Any thoughts?

Statistically speaking, the "thin" septation is a good sign.  Most often, cyst walls that are malignant are thickened.  

However, if you are uncomfortable with the wait, then please do have a consultation with your doctor to discuss your concerns.

I'm not a doctor, but "minimal flow" sounds promising.  Many cysts have septations so I wouldn't worry about that.

You might call your dr and see if you can get the ooph sooner.  Since they have to come out any way, might as well get it over with!  Then you won't have to wait and worry.
