Ovaries

Hello had a scan and a mass was found on one of my ovaries so I have to

go and seea Gynecologist next week. Dr said it looked hard on the outside and

said it could be anything such as a bowel problem or just a benign cyst. However I am

now really worried its cancer. Does the fact it looked hard on the outside indicate it

could be cancer or is it more likely to be a benign cyst?

  • Hi Musiclover,
