HI Mary,
My prayers are with your daughter.
I know all too well the feeling of the unknown that she is facing right now and how scared she can be....you see I was in her shoes when I was 18, a Senior in High School, recently engaged to be married the next fall after graduation and the feeling of dread I was going through. I had gone to the doctor to have my first PAP Smear test and felt I was grown up enough not to have my mom with me (wrong move on my part). After all I was going to be married that fall. When my family doctor told me he thought I was 5 months preggers I told him he was nuts! I kept good records of my periods each month. So he sent me to Dallas Texas to Presbyterian hospital for one of the first sonograms that had came out. That's where they found my 5lb Ovarian Cyst. Was in surgery by the end of the week. Remember I was recently engaged to be married that fall. I told my then fiance (who has been my husband of 31 yrs), that I might not come out of surgery being able to have any children for at that day and time the picture wasn't pretty. He told me not to worry that he would be by my side when I woke up. He was and still is. They removed my right ovary and tube which was destroyed by the ovarian cyst. I was told I could still have children (I had two beautiful children a Son and two years later a Daughter). I've not had any types of female problems until two years ago when it was time to remove the rest of the plumbing since I was approaching that big "50" and didn't want to take any chances of my clean bill of health turning south.
Hang in there, she is young and healthy and will come through just fine.
Karen
