Hi, I'm so sorry to hear your daughter is unwell too. My daughter was having severe period-like pains in her lower right abdomen. She had an ultra scan and they found she had a cyst on each ovary. The cyst on her right ovary turned out to be a normal functional cyst, but the one on her left ovary was removed as it didn't look normal and she was subsequently diagnosed as having a carcinoid stromal tumor which I've been told is very rare in itself, let alone for someone of her age.
