Hi,
    Just from my own experience--- my Dr. referred to my ovarian cyst as a cyst and tumor interchangeably in the same visit.....  which rather frightened me at first. Evidently there is not that much of a distinction in the medical field with this kind of "growth" ..

    Good luck on your surgery . When is it taking place?
