Hello there Cher2305 and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear you are needing urgent surgery for this cyst and appreciate this must be a worry for you.

Unfortunately until they remove the cyst there is no way of knowing for sure if this is definitely cancer but if there are features seen on the scans that are suspicious they will be wanting to carry out the surgery sooner rather than later.

As difficult as this must be, try not to over think things until you have all the information. There is still a good chance that this isn't cancer, and in the case that it were, hopefully it has been caught an an early stage where it can be removed and successfully treated.

I wish you all the best and do get back if you have more questions. You are also welcome to call the nurses on the helpline on 0808 800 4040 Monday-Friday 9-5.

Take care

Naomi

I had bilateral complex ovarian cysts they were removed by the oncologist and had extensive adhesions surgery took 4 1/2 hours, l was worried as they can be precancerous. They took multiple biopsies which fortunately were benign 

l hope you have a similar experience and they are benign.
