Just want to be sure of something

Hi, I have posted a topic called "could I be at risk, should I be concerned" and I want to ask you something. Such thing I brought up here I'm defnitely going to mention it to my doctor which I'm going to see him next month.

I just want to be sure of something which is such thing I explained here does it sound right saying it this way "she had hernia surgery and removed polyp/cyst then later on I heard it was cancer which was removed." Should I use to the word polyp or cyst when I'm going to say such thing to my doctor? I don't know which word sounds right when I explain it. Is it correct that cyst is in the hernia then later on found out it was cancer?

I just want to know I'm saying it the right way. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa6666,

 

Welcome back to EmpowHER!  Depending on what you would like to speak to you doctor about. Polyps are found in the intestines and a cyst could be, breast or ovarian cyst. And Hernias, are developed in the abdomen.

Hope this helps,

Daisy
