Back from the clinic. Bloodwork says no cancer. Yay! But opting for surgery to remove 10 cm cyst on July 17th, to be 100% sure, and as it seems to be getting bigger I want it out of me, anyways. It will be 4-6 weeks recovery afterward. I wonder how I'm supposed to get help, though. I'm supposed to be helping my folks to a degree, how ironic now.

10 cm or 10 mm, that is a really huge cyst if it really was 10 cm. You should definitely get them removed, my parents got their cysts removed and it was just a minor operation and they were back in the house after less than a week. Good luck to you.

Yes it was 10 cm or the size of a orange. It was b ig, that is what scared me most and it was growing some too after awhile. I didn't like the fact it was growing bigger. I hope now that those cysts leave me along and I don't get them back.

No cancer! Yay! Best to rid your body of all the cyst and cells in close procimity. You just need to get this done and behind you. Then worry about helping your family. I suppose you don't have any insurance. If you do or can get help from medicaid you could get a home nurse to come in daily. Might be a good idea to check into it now before your surgery.

Thanks!! I don't have mediacaid and the help I do have with the bills probably doesn't offer a nurse, sad to say but I could sure use one. I will see if I can check into some sort of thing, as I'm worried about how to do some things. I doubt I will get anyone as my family doesn't like having people over, even nurses. They are in their own little universe.
