Results back from 4th U/S in almost a year and cyst still hasn't changed. Still in limbo about what to do.

And my results didn't even state "abnormal" at the top like the others have. The results were:

Left ovarian endometrioma measures 3.3 x 2.9 x 2.7 cm, previously 3.2 x 3.0 x 2.9 cm, not significantly changed. The normal left ovarian parenchyma difficult to differentiate from the endometrioma. As before, there is a questionable second lobe of the endometrioma extending to the right adnexa, which measures 2.6 x 2.4 x 1.2 cm, previously measured 2.9 x 2.2 x 1.1 cm, not significantly changed.

I don't know. Good it's not getting larger, but it still feels weird that it isn't getting any smaller and going away. Also, this second "lobe" they mention, first showed up on the last U/S (wasn't there the first 2 U/S I had) so that is something that has changed.

The OB/GYN message to me after seeing the results:

Your left sided endometrioma appears to be stable in size with no concerning features. If you are still asymptomatic, then we can plan for a follow up ultrasound in 6 months and then if stable, consider discontinuing surveillance.

So no U/S again until July and then, I'm sure it will probably be pretty much the same, she just wants to discontinue monitoring. I questioned her on what the "second lobe" was and why the "ovarian parenchyma is difficult to differentiate" and she explained it to me and said that "neither was concerning". And this time she didn't even give surgery as an option.

My thing they thought was a cyst it hadn't changed it was 1 cm, doc was afraid she couldn't find but I new it was a lymph node from a lymphocelle we had shrunk that was pissed,. It was removed and not cancer. I was happy it's out. And blessed
