My doctor found a cyst and now I'm terrified I won't be able to have kids

DEAR DEIDRE: MY dreams of having a family with my husband might have been snatched away, and I’m so upset.

I’ve just been diagnosed with a cyst on my left ovary and it might be cancerous.

Resident agony aunt Sally Land is taking The Sun’s legendary advice column from the page to podcast.

Each week, Sally will be joined by an expert and some of your favourite celebs to give helpful, entertaining advice to listener problems.

A brand new episode will be available every THURSDAY.

Listen HERE, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Either way, I have to have an operation to remove it.

I’m 38 and my husband is 40.

We’ve been talking about having kids ever since we got married two years ago, but now we’ve been warned it might not happen naturally.

Until I get the results of the biopsy, I won’t be able to make any decisions.

I feel sick with worry and I can’t sleep.

Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.

I’m more worried about my fertility than possibly having cancer.

I’d like to start looking into fertility treatment but I don’t know where to start.

DEIDRE SAYS: Try not to jump ahead of yourself. Your cyst may not be malignant and you might not need fertility treatment.

Please talk to your husband about your fears so he can support you.
