Hi mine was nearly 6cm. Scanned showed it on ovary but when done surgery it was found to be next to ovary not attached. So mine was paraovarian cyts. They said it does not look suspicious but I'm still a little worried about results as I was put on urgent list even though they told me it was not urgent don't make any sense. They did warn me it could be open surgery but it went well with keyhole. Hope your surgery goes well.
I had on and off shoulder pain for 5 days but ok now. Pelvic felt bruised, not to bad now just cuts a but tight. Managed a short walk yesterday. Felt sick and a bit dizzy just after opp but that disappeared after an hour or 2. Also it was my choice to have surgery, so no idea why it went to urgent. Its good it got done quickly.
