Jo,

Thanks so much for the reply! It seems to be a common thing for those who had massive adhesions when an ovary is removed, but still difficult to find information about. I'm currently experiencing the exact same symptoms that I had when I had a large cyst, which required the removal of the ovary. I'm afraid I'll get the old "eye roll" if I go to the dr and tell her that I believe I still have part of an ovary left in there. Can I ask what symptoms you had that led up to your diagnosis? I'll be sure to keep you updated, should I find any more information on the web. No luck so far though.

Thanks again, Deb
