I had a dermoid cyst removed from my ovary at the start of October last year. My surgeon told me it would take a few weeks to get the results from histology.

I feel bad even asking because the chance of the demoid cyst being cancerous is very low - but its been 5 months since I had the operation and I still don't have the all clear.

The cyst was a solid, complex mass - measuring 7.5cm x 5.5cm so fairly big

I think the dermoid grew fast because I had an ultrasound in 2019 to investigate pelvic pain - and they didn't mention I had a cyst - but it must have been quite big at that time. My blood test didn't show raised CA125 but my WBC counts were all raised.

I know my sample was lowest priority, and that services are under pressure. I sent an email to my surgeon's secretary a few weeks ago, and spoke to her last week and she said she would try and get an update, but I haven't heard back yet.

Just wondering if anyone else has waited this long for results? Shoud I chase again or should I wait? Thank you.
