I went through the same thing in 1997. My OB/GYN did a sonogram on me and said that I either had ovarian cancer on my left ovary or what they call a 'chocolate tumor', which looks the same as ovarian cancer on the sonogram. He said he wouldn't be able to tell for sure until my surgery. I had to wait a week for the surgery (had to get personal things in order first). I was so scared and left it in God's Hands. When I woke up from the surgery, they then told me that it was, in fact, a 'chocolate tumor'. I had to have a total hysterectomy due to that and also uterine fibroid tumors. You'll be in my prayers. God bless you. Please keep us updated.

My mom had that, only her doctor called it a chocolate cyst. She did fine, no hysterectomy until long later after she had had 3 kids. I'm praying that giznort's doctor will have great skill and she comes through this great.
