I am new on here and having difficulty navigating this site. I have no idea how to post a message, so I will reply to this one. I just found out I have a 1.6cm cyst on my spleen. They said it us growing. Had cat scan..they didn't "know exactly where cyst was" then they did an ultrasound..as I am having pain - sharp at times under left ribcage. They don't seem very concerned. They called me today with results. Cyst is inside spleen? Growing. They don't seem to concerned at Hematologist office. Frustrating.

@ellana5 It can be very frustrating dealing with Dr's I agree. Just like @hopeful33250 said I would go for another opinion. You need to obtain copies of all your medical records and tests. Take them to another hematologist. How was your blood work?
Getting more than one opinion is really important in order to get a proper diagnosis.
I wish you best...

Welcome to the group!
Cysts don't seem to be a problem as tumors are.
My doc just found one in me, too.
The cyst is in my spinal canal.
They are just going to wait and see.
I did some research and that is the correct thing to do.
If you are concerned, either do some research or find another doc.
Good look!

Thanks for your post, @eliana5.
I am sorry to hear of your pain and the cyst in your spleen that appears to be growing. Please remember that it is always your right to get a second opinion, especially if you are experiencing pain that is limiting your activities. A second opinion by a doctor who specializes in this type of problem may be a good idea. If you live near a multi-disciplinary medical center, like Mayo, or a university medical school that might be a good place to start.
Have you considered a second opinion?
