Well second op us now done, sat out of bed on the ward as I write this. They opened me up again but unfortunately there was no ovarian tissue that could be preserved, but the very positive news was that there was nothing any where else! Plus the cyst was very fluid filled and my Dr thinks it may contain borderline cells at
Worst his view was that it was likely just to have been a cyst. Phew !
Now have the menopause to deal with and finding an HRT that works for me. Obviously very disappointed to have lost my fertility but glad that no other disease was found!
Thanks for all the support!

It's really good news that there wasn't anything too bad found, hope that the histology comes back with good news. As for the fertility, it's possibly something that you've been mentally preparing yourself for over some time. I know I was more able to cope with the idea the longer that time went by. I have to say, it is something I have come to terms with now. There's no point in thinking 'what if...' I just enjoy the here and now.
Thanks all- Wendy I think you are right gradually over the course of the year with all my treatments children just seemed to be getting further and further away. I still have my womb and frozen embryos so who knows! But hoping for now just to be cancer free and able to get on with my life- and finally, finally go on our honeymoon!!!
Dear Claire, You are one very brave lady. Thanks for letting us know how you got on with your op. You must have so many emotions whirring round that you need a lot of love and care.
I'm sure there's a solution to the menopause and the worst side-effects of that can be managed. Now, it's on and up for you and hopefully you can put the trauma of diagnosis and treatment behind you. I think you will!
Dear Claire - am so pleased for you too. Likelihood is know you can move forward without too much further bother apart from the wretched surgical menopause - that is QUITE enough! We have tips, lots of tips... Fingers crossed for the histology but its sounding like quite a good outcome so far. I guess the fertility thing is something to, somehow, be philosophical about... I kind of missed my window so was lucky enough not to have this extra emotional angle, I guess. Hugs, and all the best...
