So I finally got to see my ultrasound. They do look like cysts, not opaque masses like with suspicious for cancer. This was the super good news. However because of the cluster and causing pain, I can have aspirations done to "deflate" them like letting air out a a balloon to let the fluid out to make things more comfortable. This was the good news to get rid of the pain. The not-so -thrilled news is is that this is very common in women over 4o and may become an ongoing issue. However, given that they were cysts, I am thrilled.

I also was relieved that this is the first surgeon I have ever met with really lovely bedside manner. I felt completely comfortable; she had no problem answering my questions and took her time. I was impressed. I will be keeping her in my "rolodex" for future things including this upcoming, jokingly, deflation. The only time I have ever wanted to be deflated.

She said the procedure is similar to a biopsy so in knowing your insights, I feel more comfortable about this too. Again, thank you so much for your support! I have been very stressed, more than I care to admit. Y'all have really been helping me through this. I can't thank you enough.
