Ovarian Dermoid cyst

Hi, I've been having on going problems with my stomach and pains for around 2 years, to the point they thought it was my gallbladder as I've been admitted too hospital twice both via ambulance because the pain was so unbearable I couldn't move, after going for a number of tests I have been diagnosed with a dermoid cyst on my right ovary which is 5cm in size, im 26 and don't have any kids yet but am looking too have kids in a couple of years time, I've been told my appointment isn't going to be until 30th April, I suffer with anxiety and this isn't helping just wondering what are the next steps as I seem to be at a stationary place until my appointment with my gynaecologist on the 30th April and it just feels so long away. 
 

Thank you 

  • Hi Alison and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry that a dermoid cyst has been found but you're not alone as many of our members have also been diagnosed with this and hopefully some of them will be along soon to let you know what happens next.

    Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.

    Wishing you all the best for the 30th.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi, 

    After posting this I have just received a letter from my 2nd follow up smear which confirmations I have high HPV levels, after my first smear I had CIN II and III which I had the letz procedure to have the abnormal cells removed, could any of this be link to the cyst? 
     

    Thanks
