I had my surgery on Jan 2,02. The ultrasound showed the same type of cyst in which my doctor figured it was a dermoid cyst. It was not untill they went in and removed the cyst that it was not and it was a benign cyst which was causing me all that grief. It has been 4 weeks now since my surgery and I have never felt better mentally and phyically. I just want to wish you all the best and to let you know that I truly know what you are going through. I wish you all the best in your recovery. Keep me in touch! Rhonda
