2nd Opinion

I posted a couple weeks back about a hemorrhagic cyst.  My pain got really bad over the weekend.  I never went to the hospital b/c it wasn't bad enough for that but it was enough to make me miserable. 


So this morning I called the office where I'm scheduled for a 2nd opinion and told them what was going on.  She was able to get me an appt today but with a different dr in the practice.  The practice specializes in laporoscopic surgery for women.


I go in and Ihave my films and radiology reports with me and have my appt.  I really like this dr.  She was very easy to talk to and never made me feel rushed.  She looked at the charts and said it looks more like an endometrioma than a hemorrhagic cyst.  She said either way, I was a good candidate for laporoscopic surgery and she scheduled me for Feb 27th. 


I feel really good about this decision.  She gave me good pain meds to get me through until my surgery date.  The birth control pills give me terrible migraines and she told me I could stop taking them b/c they rarely work with hemorrahic cysts and will do nothing for an endometrial cyst. 


All in all this is good.  My other dr had me doing a laborotomy and couldn't schedule me until April.

I'm so glad you were able to see a different doctor and feel so comfortable about the treatment plan.
