@candybeason45, I see you also started this discussion and are getting support from fellow members:

It is natural to be scared, but you and your doctors will want to investigate to find out exactly what the mass is. While you don't want it to be cancer, I believe you want to know so that you can treat as early IF it is cancer. Solid does not necessarily mean it is cancer.

"If the cyst has solid components, it may be benign or malignant and should have further evaluation." Read more here:

@eigna32, how are you doing? Did you decide to go ahead with getting the cyst removed?

I went to the Dr Tuesday and he told me this doesn't look good at all. He said if it had just said cystic then that's fluid & we can monitor it but the fact that it says solid he said he feels that it's cancer & cancer runs all thru my family ony dad's side. He said my only option is surgery so he's doing an abdominal partial hysterectomy with the possibility of a full hysterectomy on the 28th of this month.

I’m still thinking about this surgery although I did put my name down for surgery and I’m still waiting for a surgery date.
Today I had an appointment with my doctor and he recommends that I do the surgery because it’s large and then they will do pathology on the cyst even if in my case it’s not suspicious. But I’m still scared about this because I’ve done that path before where each test I did they told me not to worry about it and finally at the end I was diagnosed with breast cancer when biopsy turned out not being benign! All the imaging that I’ve done so far shows a simple cyst, stable not growing but still I am freaking out.

Have you heard any news from candybeason45? I was wondering how did her surgery go? It was on February 28.
