First of all do you have any children, yet? If so, the worst that could happen is they can take your whole "Uterus" and you'll just go through early Menopause, depending on if your past that age, or not... If these cysts are on the outside of the tubes, they can very easily remove them, and you could still have kids.. My mom had cervical cancer, after all 6 of us kids were already born, and she was in her 30s... They simply took her uterus out... An easy operation, and she came home, within a week of her surgery, she went through early menopause... and "Loved" that part, with not having periods anymore..... But, with modern science these days, they could very well do orthoscopic surgery, and probably without having to cut, anywhere... Do you have a "support-team" ready to be there for you? I hope so... I'll say a prayer for you, okay.. Just pray for God to make this an easy process, and for nothing to go wrong, and for your ovaries to be just fine afterwards.. And I will too, okay.... Smile, God will be looking after you.. as well as loved ones..... Keep your mind busy, until then..

In the hospital where i worked, we have many patients with those case. Are they doing tumor debulking and staging....possible chelation... just be strong and after surgery, try to move around as early as the doctor allows u usually post op day #1 and dont shy away from pain medication, u will not need it...eventually but while u need it make sure u use it because unrelieved post op pains can lead to other post op complication.....unable to move around because of pain...u might have pneumonia.....dvt or adhesions.....take care.....if u are still scared, talk to someone when u get to the hospital, they can allay ur fears......

I found this website the other night, as I am trying to diagnose my own symptoms I am having right now. http://www.4woman.gov/faq/ovarian_cysts.htm Don't worry so much about it. Things will be fine. Just do as your doctor says after you come out of surgery.
