Hello
I am aware that a cyst and a tumor are different. However my
gyn/oncologist who has been practicing for many years uses the words
cysts/tumors just that way. Are you a gynecologist? I don't want to
argue with anyone or nit pick at verbage. I just asked what this meant.
A simple explanation in laymens terms is what I was looking for. I have
just received my ovarian cancer dx after having seen a gyn for two years
and having my symptoms wrote off as stress related and csection related
or other things, because I didn't question what was going on. Since you
don't know anything about me or my cancer, you could not possibly know
how I am applying the information. Your own signature line says it all.
I am sorry that I ever asked as it has turned into a very stressful
post.
Sincerely RobinS
