Re: To Laurie/: re: ovarian cysts/pancreatitis

June 13, 2005

Hi & Laurie.

I've been reading your recent posts regarding ovarian cysts and a

possible link to pancreatitis. In 2003 I had my ovaries removed

because a 12cm cyst (cystadenoma) had totally enveloped one of my

ovaries and the other had a smaller cyst.

I'll be curious if a link is found.

I guess cysts are a pretty common occurance in the female species. More than I

thought.

alot of woman aren't even aware they have them sometimes. so one can be shocked

and frightened to find out at their anual visit that there's a cyst upon

examination.

Your's was HUGE SamT. were you aware you had one that large?

I never gave it any thought about the possiblity of CP and ruptured ovarian

cysts.

I don't think the fluid would cause perment damage to the pancreas but then

again, I'm not a doctor and could be wrong.

it's a thought though that needs to be considered. Until I met Laurie, I hadn't

given it any thought.

I thank you both very much for sharing your stories and thoughts of this subject

with me.

I find it extemely interesting and maybe something to look into.

S.
