Cindy -
While I've never had one, my understanding is that most ovarian cysts are benign.

My niece had this, and it turned out to be benign. I think the tests to determine this are relatively simple and painless. Don't worry unless he tells you otherwise!!!

My sister had an cyst on her ovary when she was 35.

It was benign and she has had no problems since that was

17 years ago. Infact she had a baby at 40.

The doctor

told her most cyst on ovaries are benign. Haylee

I had an ovarian cyst for a long time, I was in and out of the emergency room for 9 years due to the doubled over pain I had. Finally after about 9 years of this (it never ruptured) a Doctor felt sorry for me and did the surgery for free because I had no insurance. It was 8cm and had skin and calcium(teeth) but it was fine. Good Luck!!!!! It did come back a year later but ruptured and that was not fun, but no cancer.
