Hi I had a cyst removed from my right side of vulver
I had this for about 5 years and thought nothing of it I went to a gynecologist to get a IUD removed and he saw it and said he would book me in for surgery remove the cyst and replace IUD waited 24 hours and found out that was stage 3 going on stage 4 cancer I panicked, I went back to gynecologist 2 weeks later removed sutures and was told he was confident got all the cancer when he removed lump that I thought was a cyst 6 months later tested site again no cancer cells found them back 6 months later all clear.

@debramcrae, there seems to have been a small stroke of luck involved in your story, although I bet it didn't feel like that at the time. Do you continue to be monitored every 6 months or yearly? What follow-up testing do you have, if any?
