I do not know if a CT scan is good enough to define a cyst from a mass?? My Dr told me that the ultrasound scan will show worrying characteristics or if its just simple cyst but only the MRI can show if a simple cyst is hiding something else.
Can't be much help I'm afraid and I would love to say you haven't got ovarian cancer but of course that would be wrong of me.
I send you huge hugs as I know how terryfying it is waiting for resutls - i only watied a week from mri to results but it was awful.
The ultrasound will give them a very very good idea what they are dealing with.
