I am concerned that is may be cancer - I had a pelvic ultra sound and that s how they found this mass. I am scheduled for surgery on November 3rd.

Hello dear. i have gone though your details. The characteristics of a mass in ovary suspicious of cancerous are more of solid components, complex appearing lesions, septations inside. first of all please do not worry, in your case it may or may not be cancerous. Definite diagnosis will be by removing and examining it. Even if it is cancerous definite cure is possible. So do not worry. Hope you understand now.
thanks
