I have been having problems since March 2009
I have a 6 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary
I had the CA 125 test done and the levels came back abnormal (40)
I also had an abnormal Pap
My doctor is recomending a 5th ultrasound in 4 weeks to see if there
are any changes in the size of the cyst.
This is the same cyst that I have had since March and it is killing me
I'm also bloated and full of gas all the time, exremely tired, and not sleeping well because of a sore back.
Any advice would be appreciated.

" Sounds like you need to hear from your Doctor just where you stand.
I think that the tiredness and sore back were two of my major symptoms that my Doctor chose to ignore at first. It could all have to do with your cyst...and that may be totally benign. The hardest part is the waiting.
I will be thinking positive things for you and hoping for the best.
