I would like to add my welcome to Mayo Connect along with @lisalucier and @rosemarya. Here at Mayo Connect we encourage everyone to become their own patient advocate. To educate themselves on their health problems and seek answers. As mentioned by Rosemary, a second opinion is important. It would be good if your second opinion comes from a large university or medical center that is known for their work in the area you are experiencing problems.

I have had the personal experience of neuroendocrine tumors (a rare form of cancer) after 2 surgeries and many years of follow up, I too was told that the possibility of recurrence was highly unlikely and follow up was no longer needed. However, I persisted (persisting can be an important word). So after 13 years between my last surgery a new tumor was found and dealt with at an early stage.

If you would like to seek a second opinion at Mayo Clinic (they have 3 locations in the U.S.), you can submit an appointment request here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63 Often, after the first consultation, Mayo experts can work with a local provider to continued care.

Also there is a Mayo Clinic Care Network. Read more about the network and facilities here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/care-network.

Will you post again and let us know how you are doing?

I have a cyst that is measuring 1.5 down from 2.5. I'm having early satiety, bloating and what feels like spasms. Do you have any of these symptoms?
