They found an ovarian cyst on my right ovary two days ago, and given the strange stomach swelling I’ve been having the last few weeks, as well as the pain, I think that cyst might not be so harmless after all. I think it might be the source of some of my problems…

Subject: I’m going to investigate that Ovarian cyst

I think that Ovarian cyst I have might be the source of a lot of my problems, like the swelling in my abdomen over the last few weeks, and even some of the pain.

Given my family history of cancer, if its still there when I see Dr. Goldberg next week, I’m going to ask him to investigate further (ie–look around lapascopically). I think they should probably be look at directly and biopsied…
