12/20 Update

First off Happy Holidays to everyone. Things are pretty nice here in Dayton. Its been snowing off and on for about a week and staying very cold. Heather and I have begun training for a half-marathon in April and all my Christmas shopping is done! What a wonderful month, just wish it was warmer. I look forward to having Christmas at Heather, Jeff and Cole's house. Its always fun to watch the dogs play and of course see my wonderful nephew.

I had an ultrasound today. Surprise, surprise - the cyst is still there. One large cyst on my right ovary. Its actually a little bigger than last month. No other cysts hanging around, lots of little perfect follicles. But because of this cyst and its growth they mentioned yet again the possibility of surgery to remove it. The ultrasound nurse talked to the doctor today after I left and he wants to do a more complete ultrasound with him present on January 3rd at noon. At that time and perhaps based on some blood work they will make the decision to do surgery or not. If surgery is "needed" it would be a simple one. I guess I would have the surgery, but I don't know if I really care all that much now. I am happy with my decision to adopt as my way to have a family. Do I want to have an elective surgery and all the potential complications that come along with it and then maybe a month later a new cyst comes along? The only reason I would probably do it is to make sure its not ovarian cancer, which is a small possibility.

Well, back to work now. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and stay warm.

Hi
If there is even a remote chance of cancer, please make sure that any surgery you have is done by a gynecological oncologist. They can best remove all traces, and give you the best chance at survival if it does turn out to be cancer.
Also, hystersisters.com has women with cancer, or hysterectomies, or just an ovary removed. It is a great site for information.
Good luck!
