Reclassification

I have known about Cysty McCysterson since I was first diagnosed with PCOS in 2017. It was always big but has slowly grown over time. I had multiple times been told that they way that it was fusing and pulling my ovaries that it was most likely an endometrioma and that I probably have endo.

Last cycle it grew even bigger to the point that where the ultrasound tech couldn't find my right ovary. I knew I needed to bring it up again.

I had a follow up appointment with the RE and she explained how I was becoming resistant to the Letrozle and that we needed to take a break for a few months and switch to clomid. I asked her if we're concerned about the cyst growing. She rechecked it and noticed a solid portion in the cyst and she said we needed to do a recheck ultrasound with her there because it may actually be a borderline tumor (benign don't worry!).

Today was the ultrasound. Not only is it now reclassified as a borderline tumor but the ultrasound tech poked at it and all the little particles in it floated up and down like a snow globe. So I am officially renaming Cysty, Snowglobe Tumor. There is barely any ovarian tissue on that side so I'm going to have a full ovary removal with the tumor removal. The left also has a substantial cyst on it but my RE thinks it should still be there after surgery to produce eggs. but ultimately it will be the surgeon's call if she thinks my left ovary is safe. If she feels it has a threat of coming out we will be freezing eggs so that I can still have kids afterward. I already have my consult with the surgeon next Monday.

I know for most people this would be horrible, terrible news, but honestly I'm relieved. I've been feeling crazy because I knew in my gut that that big guy was a problem and doctors kept pushing it off. I'm so glad to have some answers and a direction. I am so much better at tackling the hard road with all the information.
