I got my test results back
So I went in for my ultrasound.They looked at my liver, kidneys, lungs, appendix, gall bladder and ovaries. They also did a vaginal ultrasound and checked my uterus. (First time I ever had one of those done. I didn't like it one bit!) The doctor called me the next day and said that he found a couple things going on. He found a small fibroid on my uterus, which is a cyst that has the possibility of turning into a tumor (?) and a very large cyst on my right ovary. He told me that if the pain gets any worse in the next couple weeks to make sure I come back in otherwise keep taking Aleve for the pain, which I been doing. He is scheduling me for another ultrasound in 6 weeks to check on these things and see if they have grown any. He said it was VERY important that I come back in for the second ultrasound. I guess he's waiting to see if the large cyst goes away on it's own. He said that if it "pops," there could be another one right behind it and that may be why this one is so big. I forgot to ask him exactly "how big" was big, but I forgot. If the thing won't go away on it's own, then maybe he'll have to help it along. So that's that. Now I just wait (uncomfortably I may add)! and see if the thing goes away on it's own before they do anything. It's not very good news but it sure could be worse. For THAT I am thankful! Oh yeah......he also said that my liver is a bit fatty. (JUST my liver?!?!) he-he. Nothing to worry about though. Seems to me that he would have gone in there and removed it or something if it's hurting me that bad, but then again I'm not a Doctor and I don't know what's going on. Do I need to be worried or not? What is the difference between a regular cyst and a fibroid cyst, or are they the same? I wish I would have asked these questions when I talked to him on the phone but I wasn't thinking too clearly. So now I have MORE things to worry about! Prayers for me are welcome. :)

(that was me, Hol, by the way)
We talked about this already (on the phone) so I won't say much. I can tell you everything I went through, and how I felt both emotionally and physically (before & after) but everyone's experience is so personal & different for themselves. But I'm here to offer any light on the subject you may need. Trust me - "you'll be OK"
