As most people know by now, my body's been growing a cyst on my ovary. What most people don't know, and what I didn't know until recently is that the cyst is inside my ovary and will require surgery to remove. The cyst itself is 8cm, but my ovary has ballooned to 11cm. Obviously, this is a problem.
The outlook is not good for the ovary and I go in for a pre-op visit November 4th. Surgery is scheduled the 18th of November and afterwards I'll likely be short one ovary. It's bittersweet, really. On one hand I'll no longer have to worry about this giant cyst every day. On the other hand I'll be missing a vital part of my reproductive system. Ah well. "Que sera, sera."
