Went to doctor today.
The cyst is only 1.5 cm so that is good news.
I am very proud of how assertive I was.
He said that we'd wait 3-4 months & re-do the ultrasound & did I want him to do a pelvic exam today.
I said that what I would like to do is to have an appointment with Dr. H. (a gynaecologist who I went to 12 yrs ago once) to discuss it. My Dr. said he'd be happy to have me see Dr. H. Then he explained that generally they wait 3-4 months to do an ultrasound to measure the growth of the cyst.
I'm going to discuss it with Dr. H & I feel quite comfortable to ask him any questions that I have, in order to feel comfortable with 'our' course of action. Unless he convinces me otherwise, (& I'm open to being convinced) - I'd just as soon just have him remove the cyst AND ovary without waiting.
Anyway, I'm feeling much better to know that I'm going to see a specialist about it.
Also good is that when I called Dr. H's office to see if I needed a referral, I was told that they don't have a long waiting list. That other gyn's offices are booking in the New year, but they have available appts way sooner than that.
So thx all for your very appreciated support.
luv, Kath
