Oh Lulu, my mum had benign ovarian cysts and around the same time, her mum had chemo and removal of her malignant ovarian cysts (they took both ovaries). So I know what its like. Its going down my maternal line so one day I might have it too. Hopefully they can fix it or at least let her have egg production and harvesting so that in the event of unworking ovaries, she can still have her children. I get an ultrasound every 1-2 years to check mine. Its a silent cancer, ovarian. Scares the hell outta everyone. I reckon everyone should get an ultrasound every 1-2 years just to have a look. We have pap tests don't we? Why not check our ovaries too?
