Since I have your impression of your doctor's impressions of sonograms I haven't seen, there is no way I can even comment. I know you understand. I suugest a second opinion on the sonogram from a radiologist and if necessary, see a gynecological oncologist at a University hospital for an opinion.

BTW, if your GYn says it's not a tumor, what is it?
