Fear of ovarian cancer

Good morning, I am reaching out to you because my gynecologist has discovered a suspicious growth on my ovary. She is recommending surgery. I am now very worried that it could be ovarian cancer or cancer in general. I have a picture of the ultrasound and would appreciate if you could give me your assessment of the image. I would then send you the picture via email. Additionally, I am wondering if it would be possible to have this surgery done on an outpatient basis. Many thanks and I look forward to your response.
Good morning,
Please send me the picture to Dr.hoellering@web.de and tell me your age and any complaints you may have. Then please ask a brief follow-up question here so that I can respond to you here again. Otherwise, it won't work.
Ovarian cancer is rare, and there are also many benign growths there. However, surgery should not be done on an outpatient basis. After all, the abdominal cavity is opened, and a few days of care afterwards will do you good.
See you later!
Sincerely, Dr. Höllering
