Feeling emotional and at a loss. Gynecologic cysts and no answers

That sounds awful. Can you see a different gynecologist? (I know, easier said than done, since most are booked many months out.) Have you had a recent ultrasound? Certain problems on the ultrasound could be your ticket to see a gyn oncologist, who see patients faster and are more comfortable with surgery, if that's what you're hoping for. Or you could just go to the bowel specialist. Maybe s/he will say that it's the ovarian cyst (and recommend a different gynecologist).

I agree about getting an appointment with a GYN Oncologist. I was able to get an appointment within a week with a referral from my primary physician. She made a diagnosis after receiving a lot of gyn info from me, reviewing my other health history, reviewing my path report and doing a thorough gyn exam.
She explained everything to my husband and myself, drew pictures and showed on a detailed colored picture of the vagina showing what surgery she would do and why.
This completely relieved my anxiety about my diagnosis and treatment.
Please see a GYN oncologist at a cancer center...you will be much more informed.
