Should I go in for more surgery after having a cyst removed from my forehead?
I just had what I thought was a cyst removed. And it was tested and came back ( dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans) a cancerous tumor. Now they want to go in a second time and make sure that they got it all. I am so scared to go in a second time. But if I don't there is a really good chance it could come back, but then again it may not. I just want some opinions or if someone else out there has been through this please write. AND also aren't they supposed to do a biopsy before going in, so they know what they are messing with.

You forget to mention your age! Any way a fibrosarcoma is an aggressive form of cancer, the doc must go in again to make sure that everythinhg is clean as radiation is not possible because the cancer is at your forehead and radiation would "fry" your brain!! So, do not wait anynmore, go back for the second surgical round!! Best wishes!!
Reply:You should probably go in, but if you are unsure of the doctors ideas on the situation get a second opinion from another doctor.
Reply:Since they know what it was, they did do a biopsy. Since they said it was cancerous, I would go back. You want to make sure that they got it all.
Reply:you should probably let them go back in
if you arent feeling right about it, get a second opinion first
Reply:oh my gosh yes you need to go in and have it redone because you dont want it to spead if they didnt get it all
Reply:girl, if it isgoing to save your life go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:if your second guessing it, i would definently get a second opinion before just jumping in...go with your gut feeling. best wishes.
Reply:If you have/had been diagnosed for cancer and the surgeons want to go in a second time GO! They will open the original surgical site and make sure that nothing was left behind. They don't need to do a biopsy, they tested the cyst when they removed it. They already know WHAT it is. Now they want to be sure they have it all out. They only thing I would be asking is if you need to be completely anesthetized to have this surgery or if you can be put under "twilight sleep". that way you would not need to have a laryngeal tube placed. I don't feel they are messing around with you. I believe they want to make sure they have all of the tumor.
Reply:Sweetie, you should GO IN!
Don't wait. My sister had one removed from her nose. If they didn't get it all it can grow back just as bad as it ever was.
With a skin growth you remove it anyway and test it later.
Good luck and don't wait--again.

I have amedical question about the presence of an ovarian cyst can u help me?
my sister is 21 years old and she took an ultra sonic x ray .the report was that she have an ovarian cyst of about 2*2 cm do u think it's dangerous or it may effect on her fertility ?
I have amedical question about the presence of an ovarian cyst can u help me?
I have a 5.5cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary. I have had it most of my life. I am asymptomatic. That means that I have no pain and it doesn't affect my life in any way. It can have an effect on fertility, so she if she wants to get pregnant, she might want to get checked out by an Infertility Specialist. That's how I was able to get pregnant and give birth to my son.
Reply:She needs to talk to her ob/gyn. They may want to do a laproscopy to remove the cyst. If it ruptures she could be in a LOT of pain. Or he may give her meds to shrink it. Cysts are nothing to play with.
Reply:i was diagnosed as having two ovarian cysts the size of pees. they can cause pain like cramps simialr to menstartion. but they can be avoided by taking tylenol or advil, ect. some cysts have been know to be cancerous but if it was then they would have told her. having cysts can affect fertility but if she wants yo have kids and is worried about anything then she needs to talk to the doctor about it. cysts can be removed easily...so you and your sister should have nothing to worry about. just ask the doctor the same questions you have already asked and then he can give you the addvise, medication, ect. hat you really need.
Reply:she should take the medicine that makes it go away. they are easy to get rid of, don't worry, But I wouldn't just let it stay there, it will cause probs

What would you do for best about a small ovarian cyst.?

I found this short article in your problem, perhaps reading it might just help you out.
What is an ovarian cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary. Many cysts are completely normal. These are called functional cysts. They occur as a result of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). Functional cysts normally shrink over time, usually in about 1 to 3 months. If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may want to check you again in 1 to 3 months to make sure the cyst has got smaller. In certain cases, your doctor may want you to take birth control pills so you won't ovulate. If you don't ovulate, you won't form cysts.
If you are menopausal and are not having periods, you shouldn't form functional cysts. If you do have a cyst, your doctor will probably want you to have a sonogram so he or she can look at the cyst. What your doctor decides to do after that depends on your age, the way the cyst looks on the sonogram and if you're having symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full after eating just a little, and constipation.
Reply:i too have one but have had nothing done with it...mine was discovered about 8 years ago!!!!!
Reply:Do you trust your doctor? If you do, you should allow him to do what is necessary for your health. Ovarian cysts may later turn to cancer or grow even larger and block a vital organ if not taken care of properly. I'll pray for you. Take care.
Reply:There s nothing to worry about,they may do keyhole surgery instead,if you have been advised to have the cyst out then i think you should.Its not a major op and its all safe these days being put asleep,you will be ok be brave and have it done.
Reply:i had several cysts, they bursted after taking homeopathic medicine ovarium or sth like that
Reply:My mom hade one about 3 years ago.
She drank green tea as that is said to strink or prevent cancers.
I think also, things like tomatoes and turmeric can prevent cancers, but definately green tea tree times a day.
I found a small cyst in my breast, before last Christmas, I took garlic tablets and drunk green tea.
Reply:I had one and it disburst itself, if your gp is offering open surgery, go for it as there is obviously a reason that he has offered you this treatment..
Reply:i have about 10 on each overy but as there not big i dnt have to have surgery!
the side affects i get from it are easily managable, but if they get worse, they wil have to be removed. but not with open surgery, with a lapaoscapy.
Reply:Most small cysts disapear on there own...not sure why doctor would offer surgery. I would say if it's causing alot of pain have it drained but if not leave it and it will disapear xx

What is a 33-week old baby's chance of surviving if it still has a choroid plexus cyst?
Hi --
I'm looking for a doctor or medical professional who knows something about a choroid plexus cyst in infants. My sister is 33 weeks pregnant with a baby girl who has one of these cysts in her head. There is a 99% chance that she will be born [yes that is the statistic) and it will go away, but usually in that statistic the cyst had disappeared by 28 weeks. But what are the chances of a baby developing T-19 if it still has this cyst at 33 weeks?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Choroid plexus cysts are relatively common and relatively benign. The size of the cyst is that is important. If it is small, stop worrying.

Am I supposed to miss a week of school to have a sebaceous cyst removed?
I've got a sebaceous cyst just below my eyebrow which is about an inch long, and I'm getting it removed in a couple of weeks. The surgeon says I should probably stay off school for the week. Is it normal to miss this much school to have a cyst removed? I have my gcses this year so I really don't want to miss too much.
Am I supposed to miss a week of school to have a sebaceous cyst removed?
Sebaceous cysts generally do not require medical treatment. However, if they continue to grow, they may become unsightly, painful, infected, or all of the above. Surgical excision of a sebaceous cyst is a simple procedure to completely remove the sac and its contents. Under no circumstances must one try to pop the cyst as it can lead to infection of the surrounding tissue. The neck is a vitally dangerous region due to the glands and blood vessels. An infected cyst may require oral antibiotics or other treatment before excision. Another common and effective method of treatment involves placement of a heat-pad directly on the cyst for about fifteen minutes, twice daily, for about 10 days (depending on size and location of the cyst).[1] This method works by bringing the temperature of the wax-like material inside of the cyst to a temperature at which it melts and can be reabsorbed and processed by the body as a small amount of oily fluid. This method is preferred over surgery both for reasons of associated costs and risks of surgery. This methodology is not applicable for non-sebaceous cysts, however, as other varieties of cysts do not contain the same hardened sebum deposits, and therefore do not melt to be reabsorbed by the body.
It is all going to depend on how yo feel. I think you should feel fine to go to schools sooner and may just take pain meds at night and get extra rest when taking them. At the most if you heal fast 3-4 days of bed rest should do it.
Reply:Miss school for what? You can still use your other eye? Thats kinda crazy if you ask me.
Reply:unless ur in college i would stay home a week if i could i felt bad all day today i even have a health question and if it hurts u seriously need to stay home.

Which exercise should be avoided if one has an ovarian cyst?
I was diagnosed last week with a plum-sized cyst on my left ovary as a result of endometriosis. I will probably have to have surgery sometime soon to take it out. My doctor told me it is still ok to do exercises as long as I don't overdo it. I don't know what the cut-off should be, though. I asked if I could still go to spinning classes (indoor group cycling) and she said yes. But my mom told me not to, and said anything like that could increase my risk of it rupturing. Any advice on the matter? Thanks.
Which exercise should be avoided if one has an ovarian cyst?
All excercise is ok with ovarian cyst. Cycling and even running is ok. Sometimes surgery is unnecessary and the cyst can be resolved with birth control. Unless the cyst is a solid mass then surgury is needed. Ask your doctor for atleast 3 months of BC then repeat your ultrasound. Good luck.
Reply:I wouldn't take anything to the extreme, I don't think cycling would but then again, I am not sure....don't have sex or use anything in there. I have had a cyst rupture and it is worse than childbirth!
Reply:No offense...but I guess your doc doesn't know that Iodoral dissolves ovarian cysts!!!! But he also can't make any money off of you if you don't have surgery!
My doc put me on it and my cyst IS GONE!!!!! :)
I buy mine from this site...
