What a relief!
Whew! Looks like third time's the charm. I went to a gynecologist today (third one; longish story) and she told me I don't need to have surgery to remove the fibroid because it'll shrink once I'm in menopause. She also isn't concerned about the thick uterine lining because a second ultrasound showed that it had reduced in size after my period.
So the cyst is now the issue. A good cyst is thin like a balloon and water-filled. Mine has a nodule, which can be bad, but does not have blood flow coming into it, which is great. She'd prefer I get an MRI - involves needles and I have a big phobia - but will let me get away with an ultrasound. I'll be chatting with my therapist on Friday and we'll work out how to handle this.
Happy, happy, happy day!

Needles! EEK! They scare me too. I hate them. I can't even see pictures of them without feeling nauseous and terrified!

It didn't involve needles the time I had it done, although that was to have my brain scanned.
Is it because they'll need to give you some kind of contrast fluid?
I'm sure you'll be fine.
