Hello Sunflowergirl123, 

I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with a 14cm cyst on your ovary and that the ultrasound flagged some concerning features. It is reassuring though that they told you that cancer was unlikely at your age. The MRI will shed some light on what type of cyst it is and I hope that you find out more soon and that you won't have to wait too long for your scan. I can imagine that the size of your cyst is making you a bit anxious but try if you can not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be until you get your MRI results as there are so many other things it could be other than cancer. 

There are many members of our forum who have been in a similar situation  and have had cysts of a similar size removed. If you type the words ovarian cyst, in our 'search forum' function at the top of the site, you will be able to see all past threads on the subject and you will notice that there have indeed been a lot of people going through something similar in the past - don't hesitate to respond to anyone you would like to chat to here. I hope that you will hear from the experiences of others on the forum who have had ovarian cysts removed - it does help to talk to others who have been in a similar boat.

Waiting for tests and results is truly nerve-racking and I wanted you to know you are not alone and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. I hope it all turns out to be nothing of concern and that you get the treatment you need soon to get this cyst removed. 

Best wishes,
