@sallyvic - when it rains, it pours sometimes, huh? Argh. I am sorry. I also hope they are benign and can be removed simply or just forgotten about.

I found that personally, when I was having testing for neuroendocrine tumor, that the medical professionals just kept finding "other stuff." One neuroendocrine tumor was removed as a "polyp" in a colonoscopy, then found to be a tumor in lab testing, and I was tested for a few months in different ways (e.g., urine and blood tests, various kinds of imaging, endoscopy).

These various other "incidental" findings that came up along the way gave me frights. The good news is really they all turned out to be nothing but something to note in my chart. And the cancer turned out to be all gone with the one tumor removed at the colonoscopy, thank goodness.

I'd really encourage you to go over to the Mayo Clinic Connect Women's Health Support Group, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/womens-health/, and talk to some of those members about the cysts, since they have been through similar experiences.

Perhaps your note is the bit of encouragement I need. When I had my appointment, I was given a C125 blood test and would be referred to an oncologist for removal of the cysts. I’m still waiting! The obgyn said she’s “fairly optimistic” it isn’t cancer, but I can’t deal with the “fairly” optimism.
