Didn't you have a CT scan done also? I doubt any doctor would let possible ovarian cancer wait for 2 1/2 months-that is a little long for suspected cancer. I had the symptoms you listed but my tumors could be felt by a rectal exam and, after the CT scan and CA 125 blood test, which was over 500, the opinion was ovarian cancer but, of course, that had to be actually diagnosed by biopsy during surgery. I would say that you may have a cyst because I think surgery would not have been delayed if you did, in fact, have ovarian cancer.Since I had already been through menopause, a hysterectomy was the tratment recommended for me, followed by 6 chemo treatments. It has been over two years since my diagnosis and, so far, so good. Let me know how things turn out for you. If you do have ovarian cancer, make sure your surgery is done by a Gyn oncology surgeon. It makes a big difference as to outcome.
