I had surgery on Friday morning and am doing well. It turned out that the "mass" that was seen on my CT scan was actually just my ovary. The confusion came from the ovary not being where it was supposed to be.
Instead of it floating up above my uterus somewhere, it was adhered to the side of my uterus. The doctor said that the ovary also had several large cysts which he lanced. I also had a hernia by my belly button and lots of adhesions. My doctor said that the adhesions were pulling my stomach downward. No wonder my belly hurt, huh? I'm all fixed up now and hope to stay that way!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
