I think it's just as you said: if it's filled with fluid, they can tell that in an ultrasound, and they know it's not cancer, but maybe a cyst of some type. There may be other things they can identify that would rule it out, too. But "not cancer" is good enough for me!

Whew, that's a relief! Definitely go back to the doctor with him. I always get DH to come with me to my cardiologist appointments, because I ask a lot of questions, but having an extra person to also think of questions, and to help remember what the doc says is really useful!

cancer cells have a very specific look, from what i understand... when my mom had her breast cancer, they showed her the film. she said it looked like the pix she had seen of cancer cells - lots of tendrils, etc.
i just had my yearly scan, & there were 2 lumps - but they were both old ones [had them last time, no change]. doctor showed me the films side by side, so that i could see the size & location were the same. mine looked like small white spots on the film - round, in other words.
here's a link to a pic of a breast cancer cell: breast cancer cell

Late to this thread, but adding my that this is not serious. It is encouraging that the only word at this point is "not cancer".
