I've been diagnosed via ultrasound with a benign dermoid ovarian cyst (about 6 cm) on my right ovary. The specialist who did the scan explained that it would benefit from being removed, especially as I am hoping to have children in the future.
I'll be honest - I'm absolutely terrified at the prospect of surgery (I keep having nightmares! Even though I'm bloody lucky and it's benign) and I'm therefore eager to get a well recommended surgeon (I'm also very lucky in that I have private health insurance). I was just wondering if anyone has had this surgery themselves and would recommend anyone in London? I've been looking into going to Dr Alan Farthing (he is the Queen's Gynaecologist and I figure that they may have done the hard work for me in finding the best!) but I can't seem to find many reviews for him.
Many thanks for your help Ladies - I just want this over with!
