We found, by accident, a cyst on my ovary back in March of 2021. It was rechecked in August and was 1cm bigger, but it was determined the size difference could have been because the first image was a CT scan and the 2nd was an ultrasound. At that time they told me That it was a watch and wait because they didn't operate until 8-10 cm, which was end beginning of Oct. Then the regular gyno dr ordered a routine blood test to rule out ovarian cancer. That came back elevated. It didn't necessarily mean I have cancer, but it was enough to send me to an oncologist. That was Friday, I made it through the weekend and saw oncologist on Monday. He told me it's probably endometriosis and not cancer, and that it was good that it didn't seem to be growing. But it was likely my ovary would need to be removed for testing. He ordered another ultrasound, which happened earlier on Tuesday. Like 4 hours ago I got an email updating my chart notes. The cyst on my ovary has grown to 10.3 cm (the size of a grapefruit or baby's head) in just the short span since mid August. Now I've gone from "probably having surgery" to undoubtedly having surgery based off the size of the cyst and how quickly it's growing. It's also gone from being listed as a simple cyst to a cystic neoplasm. I am now (understandably) freaking out.
