The shortness of breath is concerning. Hopefully, when you have surgery, they will remove just the cyst. My gynecologist should have sewed me up after getting the results of the frozen section that showed it was benign. But he continued to remove organs. I hope you get better medical care.

I just had surgery to have an 8 cm cyst, and my left ovary, removed.  I had some of your symptoms, but milder.  So I can see why you're having so much pain.  I'm thinking you need to call you doc asap and get your surgery scheduled.

Do you know what type of cyst you have? What size?
