I recently had surgery for removal of the gall baldder and on a ct scan after the surgery they found something on my right ovary which is about 3.4cms in diameter (is this large?). I am 33 years old and have had children. My current period has lasted about 11 days. I have been sent for a pelvic ultrasound but wont get the results til after Xmas. I am feeling very stressed out and having trouble sleeping. There is no family history of ovarian or any type of cancer.

Any advice would be appreciated!|||hi please try not to stress,easier said than done i know!!i dont think that 3.5 is large it just sounds big and scary,it could be an ovarian cyst my wife has silimar problems and had the same thoughts as urself,i honestly think u have nothing to worry about as they would have told u if they suspected this and also would have rushed tests thru.

Try to relax,as stress can make u worse hope everything works out ok 4u,in the meantime merry christmas to you|||My mom had this cancer when i was younger she never really talked about it but i know that she took a pill and it kept it away mabey you should talk to a docor and ask him about it. This kind of cancer isnt really all that usual.|||Dear MatildaJ,

The %26quot;problem%26quot; with ovarian cancer is that the symptoms of ovarian cancer do not occur until the tumor has grown big enough to apply pressure to other organs in the abdomen, or until the cancer has spread to remote organs.

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are nonspecific, meaning they could be due to many different causes.

My best regards|||It more than likely is an ovarian cyst. You can have them and not know anything about it or it can be very very painful sometimes!! I had so many of them that I finally had to have my ovary removed. When they found mine I was scared to death!! Thank God it turned out to be a cyst!! My doctor said that they where very common too. Good Luck Hon!! I will be praying for you and your family!! Oh yeah, it is pretty large!! That is another thing that makes me think it prolly is a cyst. Well that and the fact that there is no family history of cancer in your family.
