in Breast Cancer #1

I found out I have an ovarian cyst and I am feeling quite nervous. I finished treatment for breast cancer in May of 2015. The dr. Wants to watch it and recheck it in 3 months. Since I have had breast cancer and I am post menopausal (thank you chemo), I feel like it would be a good idea to remove it. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks for your advice.

    Cysts

    I've had ovarian cysts for years. Long before my cancer dx. Every year I get a pelvic sonogram to see if they've changed size or shape and so far, they haven't. I also have cysts on my thyroid and I get a sonogram to track them as well.  They are just there, unchanging.  They don't necessarily mean anything.  Friday, 6/17 I'll be having a scan to check on some nodules they found in my lung when they did my PET scan for bc. I'm hoping they don't mean anything too.

    I had a LARGE overain cyst many many years ago-I was prepped for surgery and I was told I also (WHICH I kept telling my DR i felt pregnant) i had a tubular pregnancy-

    way back then (27 yrs ago-home pregganacy test were just a new thing) never bought one-thought far fetched..lol

    same here

    I've had ovarian cysts forever. I am pre-menopausal though. I suggest you check up on it in 6 months or whaever the doctor recomends. I wouldn't be too worried with a cyst though, especially if there are no changes. Hang in there!
