I hate to talk about myself but figure I need to brag a little bit...not. For a little over a month I felt like my stomach looked different to me. Like getting bigger...I took a "test" and it was negative which it should of been. A couple weeks ago started to feel some pain on the left side of my abdomen which was familiar to me....it was 19 years ago I had that pain and found out I had an ovarian cyst 5 lbs. 4oz. Needless to say it was removed and was determined it was a Dermoid. Which means it had hair and teeth in it and could be cancerous. I've had cysts over the years but was able to take "pills" to shrink them down. When I went in two weeks ago we did an ultra sound and I could see it immediately. My first question was, "How big is it?" The Doctor said it was the size of a tangerine and that it had a solid mass growing in it that concerned him. He said we didn't want to wait on this one and we needed to schedule surgery ASAP. We did that last Wednesday, and it sucked! I hate surgery! I was in so much pain when I woke up and the nausea was horrible. I couldn't even take a pain pill till the next day since I couldn't keep anything down. I'm sore and I look like I'm 5 months preggo. Tayah even came up to me asking if I had a baby in my tummy...nice. Oh well.
I got the call today from the Doctor on the Pathology Report. He said he had "good" news for me and that it wasn't cancerous! I was actually already planning my funeral in my head. They ended up taking out my whole left ovary and the cyst. He said it was two cysts in one. At least it's over with and I can look forward to hopefully not going through that again. Another thought, I don't recommend Davis Hospital.

It sounds like you had bad "care" at the hospital. I'm so sad that you had to suffer more than you had to. You're in my thoughts.
I'm so glad it was good news. I bet the whole family is relieved. Hopefully you will be feeling back to normal soon.
Oh and sorry you had to find out about Davis the hard way....we made that mistake once too. I'd rather drive the distance and go somewhere else.
I'm so glad everything is done and taken care of and that the pathology report came back normal. YAY! I still think you should have milked it a little more so that you could get more sleep.;)
I'm a little behind on everything! I'm so sorry you had to go through all that! I remember when you had that ovarian cyst years ago. I'm so glad you are okay and the test came out normal! I hope your recovery has gone well and that you're feeling tons better!
