Re: Cysts on ovaries
One thing I want to add as well is when I got my ovarian ultrasound report back a nurse, the technician and two doctors had read it, and then me. I went with the report to my onc and asked how can these ovarian cysts be measured so large when the ovary itself is so small? The end of the story was the onc asked the same question as me, sent the report back, and lo and behold these huge cysts that I had..... ended up being very small as they had put the decimal in the wrong place twice in the one report so don't worry too much. They are so common at your age. When you get your next ultrasound, you will see that they have resolved and you will feel so good about it. All the best, Carolyn
