I had an overian cyst removed and the surgeon phoned me to say it wasn't cancer, it was abnormal cells and asked me into his office to discuss the results. I went in with my husband and he said the same thing band that he wanted me to have chemo as a precaution. Then he took me in to talk with his colleague - who said it WAS cancer. Shocked couldn't begin to describe how I felt and he left the room and his nurse took over. I did have ovarian cancer. At that point I fell to pieces and sank a qtr ltr of brandy that night. This was about 13 years ago but it has stayed with me, not the way to be told.
