My wife was recently diagnosed as having what the doctor called
a cyst in one of her ovaries that did not looked good at all.
She does not want to have the recomended operation a hysterectomy ( sp? )
right away because she is going to school, thus wants to wait three months
for have it done to take care of this and to remove her detached uterus.
The doctor has very strongly tried to persuade her to have this done next week,
there was an exploratory endoscopic surgery to check out her uterus and other organs
and apparently a ultrasound about a year ago showing some cysts. She has asked
to post this to solicit comments or experiences of other persons with similar
situations. At this point I am not certain what the best course of action is,
I guess a cyst can lead to a malignant tumor, apparently there was no way a sample biopsy could have been done.

tnx
