Chelee

It seems if its going to happen, it happens to you. I did have 2 cysts when I had my ooph but it all came out and my gyne and onc tested me 3 times to make sure (as you are correct on the cyst situation). But Chelee, I know God loves you and is just testing your sense of humor because if I were you, I wouldn't be worrying about breast cancer anymore - a stroke comes to mind instead. I would have to be on serious bipolar drugs by now.

You are weathering your storms gallantly dear girl. Do the Zoladex and Femara. What choice do you really have right now? Soon enough real menopause will come. Get your hormones run every 6-9 months so you know for sure. Gosh darn it. I know you will just take this - my motto is that you can make life easy or you can make life hard and there's nothing you can do about this. However, I would insist on a pelvic ultrasound at your gyne to see if he sees anything anywhere that "might" be easy to remove. Insist on seeing that he removed BOTH ovaries and BOTH fallopian tubes too.

I think of you often Chelee. Your name makes me smile.

Love,
