previous ovarian cancer- now enlarged ovary.

Okay...so I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last April. There was a basketball size mass on my left ovary, which they removed the entire ovary. On my right ovary, there was a softball size mass...which they also removed. However, he left that ovary so that we could try to have a baby....I went in for my checkup and now have a cyst- they are sure it is a cyst- not a "mass"....BUT- my ovary itself is enlarged. They said it could be due to the fact that I have a cyst- OR it could be the cancer coming back....in which case, he wants to do a full hysterectomy. I'm so scared. I want a baby...not cancer. Chances are that it is probably the cancer again, right? I'm trying to prepare myself for the results of the ultrasound that he scheduled in 5 weeks. I'm strong. I can handle this. Just looking for other opinions. Thanks!

" Im sorry you have to go through all of this. Why are you waiting 5 weeks for the ultrasound? That seems too long to wait. "

" Yes, can they not speed up your scan! I would ask them if I were you. Meanwhile, take care and try not to worry. Easy for me to say I know, but if you possibly can, do things to take your mind off. xxxxx "
