Re: Prayers needed... Scared
Hello All!
I wanted to post an update since I just saw my OBGYN Oncologist. So he says the cyst appears to be simple BUT he does see very slight thickening of parts of the cyst wall that are a little concerning to him. Soooo... he recommends removing it. Mainly because of the size but also to biopsy this cyst. He gave me two choices.. I could remove just the cyst and biopsy that or have a full Hysterectomy. I asked him what he thought was best and he said it was totally up to me but to be safe he would probably go for the full. Crazy thing is I already have been considering this for some time. Especially with my history. I just worry that one day these symptoms are going to occur and my docs will blame it on a cyst until its to late. I know this cyst was not there in early Aug so I don't want to give it any more time or ammo to get larger or more dangerous. He did say because of my age I may need hormonal therapy and would have to watch my bones carefully.
On another note though, my normal OBGYN (over 13 yrs with her) said she saw the scan results and it appears to be a functional cyst very similar to what I have had many times before and didn't think surgery was needed. So I am so confused. I know she knows my history and me more then this new doctor but this doctor is a specialist and treats this on an everyday basis.
I am going to pray on this, as I have not set anything yet. I feel like I want to have the full hysterectomy just to ease my mind but am just not 100% sure.
Would love to hear every ones thoughts and opinions on this.
The Lord keeps me strong and holds me tight! With all of the unknowns that I know is always true!
