extremely worried

[maria58]

I have just had a ultrsound and found out that I have a 4.7cm bilateral adnexal cyst. On my left side and a 1.5cm on my right. I looked up on the net for info as my doc is away everything points to ovarian cancer. Have I missunderstood or do I have cancer?

I agree with both of these women. I did the same thing and researched the cysts they found on my ovaries and it kept bringing me to sites on OVCA. You will drive yourself crazy, so don't do it. Besides that, you will worry yourself sick! Your cysts sound similar in size to what my cysts are, so don't worry. Marie is right, the majority of cysts are benign. I too am trying to stay positive. I would wait until you see your doctor again and ask him/her all sorts of questions.

I have a friend that always says to me "Don't start worrying unless the doctor starts worrying". I believe he is right, so hang in there.

Hi , I agree with Marie , you should not read too much on the net it can scare you. I have done that myself and you always imagine the worse senario when you are anxious.   Take care, Angie xx

Whenever you look up ovarian cysts on the net you end up finding ovarian cancer, however the majority (90%) of cysts are benign,  You are making a jump to cancer without all the data, you need the report to see what the impression of the Dr that read it was.  There are a number of different types of cysts.  My advice, stay away from the net until your Dr returns and then get the full report, otherwise you will only drive yourself up the walls.  Good luck, stay positive  Marie
