Update on Ovarian Cyst Problems

Many of you have offered prayers and support and for that I thank you!

I just wanted to update you ladies on the condition.

The tennis ball sized cyst that I had has ruptured, so I won't be needing surgery -- yay! However, it is/was very painful. After that cysts ruptured, and the doc performed more ultrasounds, there are now five marble (or a little bigger) sized cysts that I just to wait out for them to rupture and then I am going on birth control to keep it from happening again.

I'm in pain, but know it will pass, so I am taking it as well as I can. I am happy that it is not serious and that I am done being poked and prodded on, at least until June.

I am also happy to say that through it all...I didn't do it perfectly, but I did ok, pretty good actually. Thank God for you all and this program!

I'm so glad you updated us...You've been on my mind. I've had cysts burst so I feel your pain...motrin and hot baths/showers/heating pads can be your best friend. BCP has helped me tremendously with this issue and I can't even remember the last time I had a cysts *knocks wood* I'm hopeful it will do the same for you.

I think you did very well during this whole thing. Erase the word perfect and any variation of it from your vocabulary...there is no perfect. *hugs*

Woo Hoo!!!
This is very good news. I knew you would be alright. But it is a scary feeling, but you made it. You should be very proud of yourself, because we all are.

Even though I don't personally know you, I'm very happy that they won't have to be invasive.

There was actually quite a bit I learned from this whole experience...so (as Caroline would say) it can't be all bad!

I think this experience called on me to practice my skills, let go, depend and ask others for help and to understand my own faith and strength.

Thanks for everything -- prayers and well wishes. I hope I can return the favor to whomever here may need it!
